Pete the idiot

[skyring]

For the past few weeks my printer hasn't been working and I've had to sneak the use of my son's computer and everything I've tried has been a failure and I've put off a lot of things that needed printing and I've been really unhappy about this new printer.

Today, faced with things which HAD to get printed, I went down and took a good look at it. I found that the power plug had fallen out of the socket. When I fixed that, it worked fine.

Yes, you are an idiot. Unfortunately, I beat you there. Back in late 2003 (or early 2004) I bought myself a laptop. I thought that it worked well. Then I realized it didn't have any sound.

So, I went to the little icon, clicked, nothing. I fiddled with this, I waggled that. Nothing worked. Eventually, I broke down and called the help desk (the one in India not those Canadian blokes).

Shortly, after receiving the explanation about the little physical dial (that could not be seen if you looked at the computer from the top) I had sound.

Little physical dial - a wife that still laughs at me - life can be good.

Heh. I'm glad I'm not alone. Your wife can laugh at me too.
