I used a friends computer the other day and they were really surprised when I used the google search box on Firefox to do a quick sum.

he was like, “woah that’s amazing”

I was like, “dude, wtf?”

• He’s the type of guy that minimizes all the open windows one by one only to open a browser from it’s desktop icon,
• he always goes to google and types in the url to the search box and then goes and clicks the top adsense ad to get there,
• he thinks those annoying mid page ads that look like a warning dialogue box are real (every time he sees them)
• he thinks that when I went into his BIOS that I hacked into his computer via a back door, he still tells his friends about it
• he thinks he can clear up some space in his pc by deleting 150kb .dll files
• he takes literally 100 seconds to type “yes” on MSN
• he’s still trying to capture something good on camera so he can make “millions” on YouTube (he swears he read a story that YouTube pays for each play no matter what I say or show him)

it’d be funny if it wasn’t true.

hurray! since getting my o2 broadband, my download speed has to be displayed as Mb/s instead of Kb/s.

I was getting 1.6Mb/s on a download the other day and everyone who I told about it, either didn’t care or didn’t know just how awesome being able to download at over a meg per second is.

the infidels!

It got me thinking about those other times where I was raving about something cool and the people I’m talking to get that glassed over look in their eyes that means they’re humouring me because I might be able to fix their computer later…:-)

I had 6 computers to fix yesterday, here are some of the things I heard..

1. “it wasn’t like that before”
   if you say so… (thinking…hah! don’t make me laugh, you don’t even know what it is like now, you probably don’t even know what it is in the first place)
2. “OMG it’s showing all my personal data”
   well, yes, you just signed in with a username and password. You’re probably registered on their site
3. “but I’ve got a virus scanner”
   a virus scanner wont protect you if you open that msn file send request from someone you don’t know
4. “it came free with my broadband”
   yes but you still need to scan regularly with up to date definitions
5. “up to date whatinifitions?”
   [sigh]
6. “that other computer has a virus scanner, can I just take it from there and put it on this one?”
   [loooong sigh]
7. “but it’s connected at 100Mb/s, how come it’s so slow?”
   that’s the speed of your network card connection, not your internet speed
8. “oh, but my internet speed is 8meg”
   It’s up to eight meg sure, you’ll probably get around 3/4 of a meg in actual download speed
9. “can I access this router from my home?”
   where do you live?
   “it’s just down the road…”
   [@!??]
