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!]

Jamie calls in.

"Yes. This thing has been up and down all day. Whenever I press a button it just turns on a light."

Zack frowned. "Which button are you pressing?"

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

Alec watched the laptop hit the table and then looked up at Demyx. "Did you try turning it on?"

"Yeah. It wouldn't turn on." Flipping open the lid, Demyx poked the power button to no avail.

"That's a bitch," Alec said, still watching. "You got a power cord for it?"

"A what?" Demyx blinked at him curiously.

"Power cord? The long plug-thing that came with it so you can charge it up?" Alec mimed a long rope with an electrical plug at the end, giving Demyx a look.

Demyx tilted his head to the side, still lost. "Never heard of it. Do I need one? I thought the whole point of these laptop thingies was portability."

"Nothing's as convenient as it should be," Alec said, smirking. "And yeah, it should've come with one. Can't charge up without it."

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.

"The number keys" Jamie said. "There's a stop button but it makes a funny noise whenever I hit it and everything locks up."

Alec whistled as he went to get a cup of water and loiter. Hey, what else were watercoolers for?
