A man has to know his limitations

Heard anything about crossbar latch? This is the technology that HP predicts will replace the transistor. Read about it at TechWhack. This will be revolutionary, in 6 to 10 years. Nanotechnology, here we come!

The computer arena and its users never cease to amaze me. Why is it that someone brings a computer to a tech with a problem they can no way in hell solve and then think that when they get home the machine should leap out of the box, wash the dishes, vacuum the floor, pet the dog and then stroll over to the resident desk and automatically connect to the internet? Then they are mad at the tech because he didn't deliver what they expected???

You know, if I was Emporer of the Known Universe it would be made law that everyone that has to have their computer worked on would automatically receive a free Jeep Wrangler. Alas, that position is not mine. So no free Jeeps here: Nor dog petting, nor jump out of the box and smooch the internet automatically. Good Lord knows that if a PC has been on my bench it has been thoroughly tested and will do internet. Humans are truly astonishing.


Y'all have a nice day out there...
