Yes, that was the cruel irony. :o I'm one of them and then some.

Claire-

It might be fun to find out where they are posting and their usernames. Then, you go to that site and register. When you run across an inquiry by them, just say something like "Well, I'm just an internet geek and take what I say with a grain of salt, but..."

I get the irony. I just wanted to point it out.

Every time I read this thread I see I LOVE it when a PLAN comes together!!!!!!!!!

I still suck up to my parnets when I want something. I'm just much more obvious about it now. Daddy, I'm your favorite daughter... [him]you're my only daughter...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAA!!

OK, that's big laughs for this afternoon! I totally relate to ALL OF THE ABOVE!!

I love it when I'm trying to make a story that's tied into the boards, or anything internet related, make sense to my grandma, or basically, anyone about 2 generations above me.

That reminds me of the time when I was working as an events coordinator for a bookstore. I was using the art supplies to make a card for michael because I was bored for the last half hour of the day. So the owner of the entire chain walks in and asks how I'm doing. My response was, "Good. Just using office supplies for personal reasons." Smooth.

Thankfully he was really cool about it and just said, "Eh. It happens." Then sat down and asked me what changes I thought the store needed. Very cool of him.

Claire, I am totally a closet poster. No one in my life except for Michael knows I'm a message board geek. No one. I'm sure they would all think I'm a freak of the worst kind if they found out.

I love it when I'm looking all over the place for something, all over my office, all through my horribly messy desk, only to find it hours later.....filed in the folder right where it should be.

I love it when I'm at the dental office, working away... people keep walking behind me.. I mean. I'm looking up things pertinent to dentistry when I'm on LoT, right?

Right?

Right?

I love it when I mention something on the tech side that I think has reached enough of a mainstream that I can put it into conversations and some old person has no clue what I'm talking about.

Today a coworker said "What's TiVo?"

I and another coworker (and old one to boot) explained to her how it works and her eyes got big. What cave does this lady live in??

She then asked me if she could resell her 6 year old Gateway. "It looks just like that" she said, pointing to an old monitor on our desk. Not the computer, just the monitor.

She's not an idiot either. It's just that all this stuff is like Japanese to her. I spend a lot of time giving her careful explanations of why the library's computer system does what it does, but it just doesn't make sense to her.
