Want to make a bet on that?


I am talking about the ones, that need help. I was on the phone with this lady for 30 minutes once. Take a guess at what the task was we were trying to achieve? It was very simple. All we were trying to do, was get into the control panel, to remove a program. That, is very bad. I dont blame the users themselves, I blame the salesmen. They push $2500 computer systems, on 70 year old people, who know jack shit about computers. I am sure they would be very happy with a $800 computer. Then, after they sell the computer, the company makes no effort in educating them on how to turn it on, properly shut it down, what a right click is. It pisses me off.

I agree with you in one respect. These companies are so quick to offer these systems with $2500 worth of software, yet don't provide the materials needed to operate them. On my computer, I have a ton of programs which I have no clue as to how to operate. I have to go to the online tutor to use them. Then on top of that, on some, no help whatsoever. That burns me. These companies should provide the documentation to at least learn the basics of a program.

The soft ware companies are just as bad, (i.e. MS) Iv actualy read the Windows 98 manual, and I learnt NOTHING!!!! Its a complete waste of paper. and have you ever tried using windows help?


I have a mate who tried starting a small company selling computers, and offering free setup help. Basicly he would goto the customers house and spend an hour or two showing them how to set up the comp, and giving them basic lessons in how to use it.
However the company went under in about 6mnths. Its just wasnt practicle.

*lol* you're just lucky that as a moderator you can edit posts

Who ever said that gaming systems are any good? I just said Macintosh rules. And technically, the xBox doesn't run a Macintosh system, right?

(I'm not a gamer, so don't quote me on anything)
