Showoff?

No. And neither is Elliot.

If it’s Showon, then it’s Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland time!

No, just an ordinary person!!!

Showoff? When nobody’s looking, yes.

Had this problem the other day. But my wife had service. She’s WiFi and I’m wired. Ran trouble shooter and rebooted the router as suggested, no change. Rebooted my machine, fixed. Glitch in the ethernet card or program. I guess you just have to give it a swift reboot to get it to work

If my Dad were alive today, and I gave him a computer, he would first say, “I’ll never figure this out.” Fast forward 6 weeks, and he’d be showing me how to write code.

He once explained the theory behind solving a Rubic’s cube; I tried to act interested. He taught calculus at a community college after retiring from the military ,and loved solving problems.

Cute as a button?

Used to do that to my users all the time. Phunny as all get out.

I often say, if you have a computer problem, find the nearest 10 year old

I’ve had to struggle along without an kids guidance. I don’t know how I did it.

Ha ha, I bought an old Lenovo Thinkpad with a “docking station”, serviced it with a gnu/Linux operating system. Then the Wi-Fi stopped working. I threw a real fit and wanted to reinstall all, then I found a tiny microscopic toggle on the side that switches on and off the Wi-Fi…. I felt ridiculous.

kids have the magic touch when it comes to technology.
