I remember fuming about one graduate of a computer science degree that asked 
me for help starting her computer. Turned out she'd left a floppy disk in, and 
the computer couldn't get past that to the OS on the hard drive.
   That sort of thing really irritates me. I got in trouble over that one, as 
I posted about it on my blog, and she found out about it and complained to my 
higher-ups. Ah well...
