Advice on My Home PC

Advice on My Home PC

   Today’s cartoon is not far off from real conversations I have had. I guess people really have a lot of confidence in us computer geeks, as they think we can diagnose problems without any information at all. It never ceases to amaze me when folks will tell me their PC is giving them and error. Me: I ask what is the error? Them: I don’t know. Well, when does it happen, what are you doing at the time? Them: I don’t remember.

Can you imagine going to an auto shop and telling the mechanic and saying there is something wrong with your car but not giving them any symptoms. I don’t know it isn’t running right.

    Too funny and too true. Nice one, Barry! BTW, I love the line quality you are getting on your inks. Nice work! Keep it up!
