When is on, on ???


Poem Artwork

The Good

 

Video driver on my computer is just fine

 

The Bad

 

The monitor is in fact, fried so I had to buy a new one

 

The Ugly

 

My MIS friend cleverly pointed to the power switch

Located on the back of the new monitor

The monitor that refused to cooperate on Saturday

With the flick of a switch it sprang to life

My MIS friend tells me that this is the stuff

Of Tech Support legend,

You know the internet jokes

Like the secretary who corrects screen errors with white out

Or the user who connects the extension cord to itself

Oh great, now I’m a Legend

Hmmm

What was I saying about technology?

 

Oh yeah, you can’t fix stupid

Now why can't they make computers with language like yours to relate to, I would understand it in a minute, and it be so much more fun. I am just getting back on it now, I had booted it out into the cold for a few days, hoping it catch a chill, but instead I lost a few connections, I'm sure I'll find them sooner or later, maybe never, but I lived without them before, so there is hope.

It's why i adhere to the KISS principal
in most technological arenas I dip into ...
Keep It Simple Stupid
Yup!

We've all done it at one time or other, Patrick. I think we can all relate to this somehow.
