Computer Lab

My friend was on duty in the main computer lab on a quiet afternoon he noticed a young woman sitting in front of one of the workstations with her arms crossed across her chest, staring at the screen.

After about 15 minutes he noticed that she was still in the same position, only now she was impatiently tapping her foot.

Finally, he approached her and asked if she needed help. She replied, "It's about time! I pressed the F1 button over twenty minutes ago!"

It's Time to Turn Your Computer Off When...

- You wake up at 3 am to go to the bathroom and stop to check your E-mail on the way back to bed.

- You name your children Eudora, AOL and dotcom.

- You turn off your modem and get this awful empty feeling, as if you just pulled the plug on a loved one.

- You spend half of the plane trip with your laptop on your lap and your child in the overhead compartment.

- You decide to stay in college for an additional year or two, just for the free internet access.

- You laugh at people with 14.4 band modems.

- You start using smileys in your snail mail.

- You find yourself typing "com" after every period when using a word processor.com

- You can't call your mother because she doesn't have a modem.

- You check your mail. It says "no new messages." So you check it again.

- You don't know what gender three of your closest friends are, because they have neutral screennames and you never bothered to ask.

- You move into a new house and decide to Netscape before you Landscape

- You tell the cab driver you live at http://1000.garden/house/brick.html

- You start tilting your head sideways to smile.

Technical Support

THIS IS A TRUE STORY!!! My cousin works as a technical support receptionist at a computer company. This is an actual conversation he had one day:

"Hi, I'm having trouble with my computer. It's not working!"

"Well, I'll do my best to help you."
*gets technical information for computer from caller*

"OK, can you press 'Control', then hold down 'Alt' and, then 'Delete'?"

"Hey, it's in French!"

"What is?"

"The keyboard?"

"*sigh* Well, can you press..."

"Oh, darn, I just noticed, the power's off!"

"Well, can you turn it on, please?"

"How?"

"Press the power button."

"Where is it?"

"It's normally a big button on the actual computer, not the monitor."

"Like the lizard?"

"Pardon me?"

"Oh, OK, I got it."

"OK, now press 'Control' and then 'I'..."

" 'I' as in Isabel or 'I' as in Irene?"




And so on and so on..... :) Customers can be so...difficult...

The Fibonacci Sequence

The Fibonacci sequence 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21... starts with two 1's, and each term afterward is the sum of its two predecessors.

Which one of the ten digits is the last to appear in the units position of a number in the Fibonacci sequence?

Just write out their units digits, and mark the digits that appear for the first time.

(1), 1, (2), (3), (5), (8), 3, 1, (4), 5, (9), 4, 3, (7), (0), ...
Therefore, 6 is the last to appear.
