Chair-To-Keyboard Interface

Useful abbreviation as CTKI, or occasionally CKI (Chair-Keyboard Interface).

CTKI is the tech-tarded USER that TECHS spend so much company time dealing with that could be better spent on more important network issues.

USER: "My login doesn't work. Is the network down or something?"

TECH: "No, networks fine. Is your Caps Lock on?"

USER: "Oh my gosh, it IS, tee-hee! Sorry for calling you from your lunch break as an emergency."

(Boss comes in): "So USER tells me there's network problems and they can't log in! What's going on with the system?"

TECH: "Problem solved. But I think it would be in your best interest to replace the CTKI."

(CTKI=Chair-To-Keyboard Interface,)

abandonware

n. software that is no longer sold or supported by the original publisher / developer, often found as free downloads on the internet because it cannot be obtained elsewhere. Not legal, but often seen as morally acceptable because the company that made it is no longer selling the title, nor releasing it as freeware, therefore abandonware is "keeping the game alive", so to speak.

Doom II is not abandonware because id still sells it, while The Incredible Machine is not sold, therefore is abandonware.

Foot prisons

Socks. Annoying, sweat-causing, non-barefoot enducing, everyday socks.

The first thing I do when I take off my shoes, is rip off the foot prisons I had to wear inside them. That's why I prefer flip flops, even in winter!
