DOC T I hate people like you. I was given a computer without one written word of instruction and told, “Oh, you’ll figure it out.” When I was finally getting somewhere, then the suggestions came in eight syllable words and letters and numbers. I broke down, I bought a book. I think it was entitled, Computers for Old Farts. Through the help of that manual, I was instructed to hold the mouse in my right hand and click to my right.. I have never burned a book but I was tempted.
I needed “when that dohickey turns into that thingamagig, it means you have to click that red X in the corner till a window opens telling you to end this program cause you screwed up somewhere”
I once worked with a computer novice who made some notes to herself on how to get into the scheduling program. It included a little diagram of the mouse with the words “2 times” and an arrow pointing to the right mouse button. We had to tell her not to post her password on the monitor.
Yay! Pluggers finally made it into the 21st Century! We here go all the way back to Commodore 64 (not recently) but I didn’t think the cartoon Pluggers ever touched a putalator.

Are you using the thing-a-ma-bob to do the clicking?
Grandpappy about 14 years ago
I think it’s a thing-a-ma-jig. Or a what-cha-ma-call-it.

Guys love it when their wives know more than they do. That girl knows her stuff. After all, she bought those clothes on eBay!

clothes probably came with a “no return” policy. These are the kind that I would describe as awful pretty!

You can’t use a computer without using the geegaw.

One simple rule for setting clocks and watches - if it’s blinking, it wants to be set! I even know how to set the timer on my VCR and DVD recorders!
