CAT 2 Chpt 2 Introduction to Computer Systems

This is for the Paper 2 Students. remember what i said in the class on chapter 2

Tech Support: "I need you to right-click on the Open Desktop".
Customer: "OK".
Tech Support: "Did you get a pop-up menu?".
Customer: "No".
Tech Support: "OK. Right-Click again. Do you see a pop-up menu?"
Customer: "No".
Tech Support: "OK, sir. Can you tell me what you have done up until this point?".
Customer: "Sure. You told me to write 'click' and I wrote 'click'".Virus infected pc
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Tech Support: "OK. In the bottom left hand side of the screen, can you see the 'OK' button displayed?"
Customer: "Wow. How can you see my screen from there?"
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Caller: "I deleted a file from my PC last week and I have just realised that I need it. If I turn my system clock back two weeks will I have my file back again?".
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There's always one. This has got to be one of the funniest things in a long time. I think this guy should have been promoted, not fired. This is a true story from the Word Perfect Helpline, which was transcribed from a recording monitoring the customer care department. Needless to say the Help Desk employee was fired; however, he/she is currently suing the Word Perfect organization for "Termination without Cause".
Actual dialogue of a former WordPerfect Customer Support employee. (Now I know why they record these conversations!):

Operator: "Ridge Hall, computer assistance; may I help you?"
Caller: "Yes, well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect."
Operator: "What sort of trouble??"
Caller: "Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away."
Operator: "Went away?"
Caller: "They disappeared."
Operator: "Hmm So what does your screen look like now?"
Caller: "Nothing."
Operator: "Nothing??"
Caller: "It's blank; it won't accept anything when I type."
Operator: "Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out??"
Caller: "How do I tell?"
Operator: "Can you see the C: prompt on the screen??"
Caller: "What's a sea-prompt?"
Operator: "Never mind, can you move your cursor around the screen?"
Caller: "There isn't any cursor: I told you, it won't accept anything I type."
Operator: "Does your monitor have a power indicator??"
Caller: "What's a monitor?"
Operator: "It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV. Does it have a little light that tells you when it's on??"
Caller: "I don't know."
Operator: "Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into it. Can you see that??"
Caller: "Yes, I think so."
Operator: "Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged into the wall.
Caller: "Yes, it is."
Operator: "When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two cables plugged into the back of it, not just one??"
Caller: "No."
Operator: "Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the other cable."
Caller: "Okay, here it is."
Operator: "Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into the back of your computer."
Caller: "I can't reach."
Operator: "Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is??"
Caller: "No."
Operator: "Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way over??"
Caller: "Oh, it's not because I don't have the right angle - it's because it's dark."
Operator: "Dark??"
Caller: "Yes - the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming in from the window.
" Operator: "Well, turn on the office light then."
Caller: "I can't."
Operator: "No? Why not??"
Caller: "Because there's a power failure."
Operator: "A power......... A power failure? Aha, Okay, we've got it licked now.
Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your computer came in??"
Caller: "Well, yes, I keep them in the closet."
Operator: "Good. Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just like it was when you got it. Then take it back to the store you bought it from."
Caller: "Really? Is it that bad?"
Operator: "Yes, I'm afraid it is."
Caller: "Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them??"
Operator: "Tell them you're too f*%ing stupid to own a computer!!!!!"

WIFE vs HUSBAND...

hahahaha...muahahaha...

These are JUST FOR LAUGHS!! Have a wonderful day.

A couple drove down a country road for several miles,
not saying a word. An earlier discussion had led to an
argument and neither of them wanted to concede their
position. As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats,
and pigs, the husband asked sarcastically,
>>"Relatives of yours?"
"Yep," the wife replied,"In-laws."


WORDS
A husband read an article to his wife about how many
words women use a day... 30,000 to a man's 15,000.
The wife replied, "The reason has to be because we
have to repeat everything to men...The husband then
turned to his wife and asked, "What?"


CREATION
A man said to his wife one day, "I don't know how you
can be so stupid and so beautiful all at the same
time. " The wife responded, "Allow me to explain. God
made me beautiful so you would be attracted to me;
God made me stupid so I would be attracted to you!


WHO DOES WHAT
A man and his wife were having an argument about who
should brew the coffee each morning.
The wife said, "You should do it, because you get up
first, and then we don't have to wait as long to get
our coffee."
The husband said, " You are in charge of
cooking around here and you should do it, because that
is your job, and I can just wait for my coffee."

Wife replies, "No, you should do it, and besides, it
is in the Bible that the man should do the coffee."

Husband replies, "I can't believe that, show me."
So she fetched the Bible, and opened the New
Testament and showed him at the top of several pages,
that it indeed says.........."HEBREWS"


The Silent Treatment
A man and his wife were having some problems at home
and were giving each other the silent treatment.
Suddenly, the man realized that the next day, he would
need his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early
morning business flight. Not wanting to be the first
to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece
of paper, "Please wake me at 5:00 AM." He left it
where he knew she would find it.
The next morning, the
man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM and
he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go
and see why his wife hadn't wakened him, when he
noticed a piece of paper by the bed. The paper said,
"It is 5:00 AM. Wake up."


Men are not equipped for these kinds of contests.


God may have created man before woman, but there is
always a rough draft before the masterpiece.

SSsshh... yes, they are resting... and I am surfing...

Remember Aesop's Fables... in the 80s? I'd like to share this with you.

The Ass and His masters

AN ASS, belonging to an herb-seller who gave him too little food
and too much work made a petition to Jupiter to be released from
his present service and provided with another master. Jupiter,
after warning him that he would repent his request, caused him to
be sold to a tile-maker. Shortly afterwards, finding that he had
heavier loads to carry and harder work in the brick-field, he
petitioned for another change of master. Jupiter, telling him
that it would be the last time that he could grant his request,
ordained that he be sold to a tanner. The Ass found that he had
fallen into worse hands, and noting his master's occupation,
said, groaning: "It would have been better for me to have been
either starved by the one, or to have been overworked by the
other of my former masters, than to have been bought by my
present owner, who will even after I am dead tan my hide, and
make me useful to him."

The moral of the story is :
He that finds discontentment in one place
is not likely to find happiness in another

Wadaya say? I totally agree. If one is always so discontented, one will always be discontent.

FLU SEASON...achoo!

Hello...hope this posting find you in a fine state of health. Fit as a fiddle.

As for me and my household, Ay & Eli are down...with hoarse voices, feverish, running after their noses, no appetite for food... haiz..真伤脑精 .As for me, i'm 'playing' nurse-maid to them lo.

Do take care of yourself out there. The weather's kinda funny. Chew enough vit C, drink lots of H2O and stay away from flu-infected personnel... aaaaaAAAACHOO!

k-r-a-z-i-e me

Came across a hang-on-your-car-windscreen sign. It says : My kids drive me crazy and i drive them everywhere. How true. Some of you might not know, i have three children aged 17, 15 and 14 this year. friends (whom i have not met for quite some time) always commented that i am very fortunate that my kids are all 'grown', unlike their, still needing mommy here and there...sigh..i guess their children are still young, still dependent. Well, frankly speaking (and from experience) it is quite true that at a tender age (below 7yrs old) their children are still 'mouldable', still obedient. 还好乖哦..

BUT YES! MY KIDS!! they really drive me with their school schedule, sports and practice timetable, their uniform-club activities, tuitions times and routes...

So...if you do see this on the road, it'll probably just be me...rushing..just to get them to their destination on time... erm got to go fetch them from school...

My first day , my first class in 2007

Starting my first day with my first CAT Paper 2 students was rather different. Usually my class consists of about 20-30 students. Haha! when i stepped into THIS class... i felt so out of place...the population: 11 cute and shy guyz and dollz..

Play before work... As usual...new students, new lecturer..i need to break some ice..brrr..else it will be difficult for the class to interact and work together...what more to say for me.

The last game..."creative story telling" really melted the ice and there was much discussion and laughter..Glad that the tension and shyness were gone.

Some pics/videos taken for your viewing pleasure.

To my new readers (CATPaper2 students) welcome to my blog. To the rest of you, thank you for dropping by. Have a blessed day today. God bless.

Hey hey hey...check this out!! Amazing.
