Tech Support 1-21



OMG this week-end flew by! I had several listing appointments, got to babysit our darling grandson Hudson, had a date with Geno and watched the Ravens play with heart yesterday...... they are now off to the Super Bowl! Time to start the work week even though many are off today (I'll be in the office). Coffee has brewed and I've got my first cup. Here is some tech humor called “Newbie Buys A Computer” for you to enjoy as hopefully you are enjoying your first sip of morning coffee.  



CSO: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you?
Newbie: Thanks. I’m setting up an office in my den and I’m thinking about buying a computer.
CSO: Mac?
Newbie: No, the name’s Lou.
CSO: Your computer?
Newbie: I don’t own a computer. I want to buy one.
CSO: Mac?
Newbie: I told you, my name’s Lou.
CSO: What about Windows?
Newbie: Why? Will it get stuffy in here?
CSO: Do you want a computer with Windows?
Newbie: I don’t know. What will I see when I look at the windows?
CSO: Wallpaper.
Newbie: Never mind the windows. I need a computer and software.
CSO: Software for Windows?
Newbie: No. On the computer! I need something I can use to write proposals and track expenses and run my business. What do you have?
CSO: Office.
Newbie: Yeah, for my office. Can you recommend anything?
CSO: I just did.
Newbie: You just did what?
CSO: Recommend something.
Newbie: You recommended something?
CSO: Yes.
Newbie: For my office?
CSO: Yes.
Newbie: OK, what did you recommend for my office?
CSO: Office.
Newbie: Yes, for my office!
CSO: I recommend Office with Windows.
Newbie: I already have an office with windows! OK, let’s just say I’m sitting at my computer and I want to type a proposal. What do I need?
CSO: Word.
Newbie: What word?
CSO: Word in Office.
Newbie: The only word in office is office.
CSO: The Word in Office for Windows.
Newbie: Which word in office for windows?
CSO: The Word you get when you click the blue “W”.
Newbie: I’m going to click your blue “w” if you don’t start with some straight answers. What about financial bookkeeping? You have anything I can track my money with?
CSO: Money.
Newbie: That’s right. What do you have?
CSO: Money.
Newbie: I need money to track my money?
CSO: It comes bundled with your computer.
Newbie: What’s bundled with my computer?
CSO: Money.
Newbie: Money comes with my computer?
CSO: Yes. No extra charge.
Newbie: I get a bundle of money with my computer? How much?
CSO: One copy.
Newbie: Isn’t it illegal to copy money?
CSO: Microsoft gave us a license to copy Money.
Newbie: They can give you a license to copy money?
CSO: Why not? THEY OWN IT!


(A few days later)


CSO: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you?
Newbie: How do I turn my computer off?
CSO: Click on “START"

Good morning Dorie,

Very cute, reminiscent of the Abbot and Costello funnies - a laugh is always a great way to kick of the day (and week)!

Dorie-had to drop by here for my morning laugh.  This reminds me of the old Abbott and Costello bit about "Who's On First."

Good morning again Dorie. Boy can I relate to this. Sometimes the fundamentals are very simple but if you have never been exposed you just don't know. Enjoy the day and your coffee.

This is too funny Dorie! I don't know where you find these computer jokes, but they are hilarious! Sound like you had the perfect week and how nice that you and Geno still have date night! Marty and I need to make more time for that. Have a great week!

Dorie,

That is too much fun.  I also admired the Ravens yesterday, and it is going to be a great Superbowl with two brother coaches. A
