Advanced Computers #3, Wednesday Afternoon 7/26

The computer lab is meeting outside today under a tent with Help Desk emblazoned across the front. Each student has their own workstation complete with phone, toolbox and nifty pocket protector.

"As you can see by my mad sign making skillz, we're going to be manning the help desk today." Abby smiled. "As geeks there is a 99.9% chance that someone is going to ask you to fix their computer. Seriously guys, it's going to happen. You need to know your stuff. Not only how to fix technology...but how to deal with people who don't know how to use it."

"Three rules you have to remember." Abby paced and raised her fingers as she counted them off. "One, not everyone is a geek so remember to tone down the techspeak. Two, people will do incredibly stupid things to their computer, try not to cry over the phone when they tell they've never done a virus scan. Three, the first response is always reboot. It doesn't matter that the problem couldn't be solved by that, it's always the first response."

"Okay, the phone lines are open and people can walk in with a problem. Remember the rules, be polite and come to me if there's a problem you can't fix."

[ooc: Post is up and ready to play! I've got an early appointment so I won't be around till later in the day, but you should all be able to play with each other. Have fun!]

Demyx walked up, carrying his laptop. "Hi. It doesn't work," he complained simply, dropping it the few inches onto the table.

A gremlin hopped up onto one of the tables carrying a small radio. It shook it, hissed and held it out to show that nothing happened.

Anders called in.

"So yeah, my Palm Pilot is out of jujubes and I can't remember how to refill it."

It was a perfectly legitimate question, even if he did actually remember how to restock the jujubes on his Palm Pilot.

"Hi, so what can I do if the thing that I need to use to do my job that used to more or less work, except the badgers, now just blinks at me and looks sort of sad and doesn't even send out badgers?"

I am suddenly reminded of my dad's lovely -true- story: So this guy calls because he can't get on to my dad's company website. So my dad is on the phone with him for half an hour. Finally, he asks "What kind of computer are you using?" "Computer? I'm on a typewriter."
