Computer Tech Support...

I mentioned previously that Googling something on the computer for my parents often consists of them phoning me up... I also often get asked about how to do stuff in Publisher or Word (and other programs) so this picture (from XKCD webcomic) made me chuckle...

    And I thought I was the only person who followed XKCD! For those with a maths/physics bent and a warped sense of humour (or should that be humor?) this "comic" (it can be a bit hit and miss) delivers a wry grin more often than not.

    In the computer programming world there is this saying: "RTFM"

    Three of the four letters stand for "Read the Manual."

    gemoftheocean, that is a "third stage" response: the first is "Is your computer switched on?" and the second is a polite "RTM".
