Well, WE were! Every time that song came on – especially on our school bus in the morning! We’d stare at each other with our best David Carridine facial expression – and make Bruce Lee noises.
The term we decided upon (the missus and I – who ran an IT support group during the beginning of the Palm experience) is gobsmacked. We supported a group of 20 Palm Pilot and eventually Palm Treo users at our school back when they held the floor and we hated the backup & sync process. We came to blame Microsoft’s COM port solution, because it seemed that the ancient BIOS assignments were telling the PC that the port the user had the palm interface cable (or dock) plugged into had been reassigned by something else, so the connection the Palm software was looking for wasn’t available. We had hundreds of other machines to look after and no time to make this bulletproof.
Life is too short to live with the insanity of old Windows and its underlying BIOS – unless your tech support man is of a particular bent. It’s like a thousand piece puzzle of a snowstorm. What came later has been so much better than the Model T Fords of the tech era.
But we’ve talked about this before and I will again wish you and your support guru all the best!
The windows at 30-Rock still open, don’t they? Even on the executive level? Maybe they could invite their Cabletown owners over, since we all know they pushed the idea.
And perps don’t make your car smell better, generally. Especially the ones with their shirts off.
It’s a SEASONAL thing, pschearer! In twenty days the FOP will be selling Glock10 shaped chocolates for Mother’s Day!
