    Omg dont get me started... i could write a book i think.
     
    The ones that spring to mind:
     
    1. woman in her 50's:
    "my cd player isnt working"
    "do you see the CD in your explorer?"
    "no"
    "did you put it in the right way up?"
    "ofcourse!!"
    <i walk over>
    "Mam, you didnt put it in the cd player, but between the 5'25" slots.. in between the plastic holders...."
     
    2. man @work:
    "My screen is all black"
    "When you turn on the pc.. do you see anything?"
    "No nothing"
    "does the pc turn on at all?"
    "i dont know
    "Can you check the power cables?"
    "ok, one moment, they are under the table, let me get a mobile phone"
    <moment passes>
    "ok i am back.. i'll just get a flashlight"
    "flashlight???"
    "yeah, we have a power shortage, so the lights are off and i cant see well under the table"
    ....
     
    3. woman@work
    "our telephone sounds weird" (voip)
    "every phone or just yours?"
    "all of them"
    "are you using the internet line heavily?"
    "ermm.. dunno"
    "could you check?"
    <moment passes>
    "no, nobody is on the internet"
    "ok, could you reset the modem when you get the chance?"
    "is that this black one?"
    "yes"
    CLICK ...<line gone>
    (.... she reset the modem.. and the phone went dead)

    "ermm.. press the reset button"
    "Ok.. where can i find that?"
    "ermm.. depends on the make/model/brand... what brand is it?"

    Guarrand reacted to siouxchief in NVIDIA Shield vs. Razer Forge (for streaming to TV)   
    I think the shield is far superior especially if you buy a 4K tv in the next few years you are future proofing yourself. Not only just 4K but HDR also that will come with 4K and which is arguably more impressive. This is from a non gamer but someone who primarily streams media.

    - Corsair H100i watercooling
    - Corsair RM 650 PSU
    - Kingston HyperX Fury 1866 8 GB (2x4)
    - Samsung EVO 840 120 GB SSD

    - MSI Z87 G45 Motherboard
    - MSI GTX 780Ti Gaming 3G Videocard
