Computers aren't for everyone...

I just had a good laugh while reading Iggy's blog about "How Not to Secure Your Computer".

It reminded me of a conversation I had with Jim just last week. He was sitting at the kitchen table, checking his email on the laptop computer.

The conversation went something like this:

Jim: Hun, I'm getting a message that the battery is low

Me: Just plug it into the power outlet

Jim: Oh, ok. (so he reaches down, plugs the cord into the outlet and then keeps on checking email)

Jim: Hun, now I'm getting a message to switch power immediately or I will lose what I am working on.

Me: How can that be? Did you plug the computer into the outlet?

Jim: Of course I did.

Me: Ok babe, I'll check it out.

So, I walk over, see the power cord laying on the floor, plug it into the back of the computer, and walk away.

Jim: Damn it, I hate it when that happens

Me:

Lol me is laughing too hard to say anything.
