  1. Funny
    TD FluX got a reaction from Roll_Like_Rollo in Experiences with non-techies   
    My grandfather decided he was determined to become tech savy a couple of years ago (meaning able to use windows), 6 months into his 'tech binge' he called me up saying that there's something wrong with the computer he's tried everthing and can't fix it. I went over and it turns out one of my younger cousins had unlocked the taskbar and moved it to the side. I promptly clicked and dragged it back into place and locked it. Turned around and my grandfather mumbled some form of thanks and proceded to not talk to me for a month after that...at least a few years on he can navigate Windows pretty well now...

    occasionally i like going into my local pc world and watch there sales team sell low end pc's at inflated prices and listen to the patter they use to sell em...
    then when they go to get there payment plans or some other bits and bobs, i walk over and tell em to look on the web for better hardware at the same or lesser price...
    reason?... because it sickens me to see people deliberately being ripped of because they dont know the difference between a gts 450 and a gtx 680. 1 guy was gonna pay £145 for a cheap end gfx card which retailed elsewhere for £79.99 (gts 650) thinking it was cool because he had just been told it had 2 gigs of vram. i pointed out that the vram has little to do with overall performance and he needs to know how many cuda cores the card has. i then pointed him to a cheaper 660 gtx from ebuyer only 1 gig. he walked away happy but the salesman wasnt. i got escorted out the shop and told not to return lol....
