1. People who know the advanced features of a computer operating system.
2. What business people who don't actually know anything about computers call themselves when all they can do is make spreadsheets in Excel. : Ex:
1. I just installed a new GUI to Debian! Now to overlock my processor so I can get shit done! 2. The following is a real story from my old job: Lady: *Calls Me(IT Guy)* Me: Hello? Lady: Yes, is this IT I'm speaking with? Me: Yes. Lady: I'm normally a "Power User" but lately, Windows has been SO slow! I would like it if you could help me. Me: Ok, would you like me to come over to your office? Lady: No, it's fine. Me: Well, could you answer these questions? Lady: Yes. Why is it so slow? Me: Have you updated Windows? Lady: No. Me: Do you have Windows 7? Lady: Why do you want me to downgrade? I already have Windows 95! Me: Have you downloaded any viruses? Lady: No, my doctor said I'm fine. Me: Umm...Well, have you clicked on any suspicious E-Mails? Lady: Yes! I'm still waiting for my new iPhone! Me: *Facepalm* |
