Overheated

"Overheated"

In the office where I work, there is a constant battle
between our technical-support director and
customer-service personnel over the room
temperature, which is usually too low.

The frustrated director, trying to get us to understand
his position, announced one afternoon, "We need to
keep the temperature below seventy-five degrees or
the computers will overheat."

Thinking that this was just another excuse, one of
my shivering colleagues retorted, "Yeah right. So
how did they keep the computers from overheating
before there was air conditioning?"

"Microsoft & The Boot Camp"

One of Microsoft Network's finest support techs
was drafted into the Army and sent to boot camp.

At the rifle range, he was given some instructions,
handed a rifle, and a couple rounds of ammo. He
loaded the rifle and fired several shots at the
target which was fifty yards away.

The report came from the target area that all of
his attempts had completely missed the target.

The tech looked at his rifle, and then at the target.
He looked at the rifle again, and then once more
at the target. He placed his finger over the end of
the rifle barrel and squeezed the trigger with his
other hand.

The end of his finger was blown off -- whereupon
he yelled toward the target area...

"It's leaving here just fine; the trouble must be
at your end!"
