TechMystery


I shut down the computer so the Windows updates would install. When I tried to turn the computer back on it wouldn't work. I called the store I bought it from thinking maybe they could troubleshoot over phone. They had me unplug everything and try a few things but nothing helped. I also talked to a couple of friends but still couldn't get it working. I was resigned to the fact that I would have to take it in for repair, when out of the corner of my eye I saw that I had in fact been pressing the cd drive instead of the power button.

With HIPAA regulations in full force, this hospital IT technician reminds users that when they print reports containing patient information, those reports can't be left in the printer tray. "They must be either secured under lock and key or shredded," he says.
But one user has a problem: "I don't always have time to pick up my reports from the printer. Is there any way I can set up my PC so I can send my documents directly to the shredder?"

I wanted to buy a CD player, but was completely perplexed by one model's promotional sign. So I called the sales clerk over and asked, "What does 'hybrid pulse D/A converter' mean?"
He said, "That means that this machine will read the digital information that is encoded on CDs and convert it into an audio signal."
"In other words," I said, "this CD player plays CDs."
"Exactly."

While working at an internet cafe, I had to instruct an elderly woman that the computer mouse did not in fact function like a tv remote.
