RobinTheHood RobinTheHood What you must remember at all times is that in this so-called civilised High Tech society.

Everyone including you is nothing more than a member of the Human Animal Species on the Planet Earth. Using the Term Human being is a false concept and false understanding of who and what we all are.

The above may appear to be out of context of the subject but it is one of the main fundamental understandings you need to be re educated about, to grasp what is going on around you today.

The main concern of almost all main suppliers and retailers is to obtain the largest profit possible by any means.

They push into the background the real meaning of customer service and follow their advertisers advise and look for ways to make them the number one on the shoppers list

They Hire people who at first glance will attract the customer, secondly to have the ability to use words and gestures to seduce the customer into purchasing goods.

Most so-called technicians employed in these premises are not employed simply to be a technician; they must also have the abilities mentioned above.

As a "Technician" he or she is invariably young and the certificates they have if any, are simply the basic ability to put all the bits in the right place in a PC so that when you switch it on it works.

They invariably have any real experience with the workings of computers.

The real "Technicians" are the older more mature person who has experience in the growth of the home computer.

To find out if the so-called “technician” understands Computing,

Ask him or her, what is the purpose of the "autoexec.bat" file and can its contents be changed to alter the boot up of the operating system.

(Find out the basics of this for yourself first using tutorials on the Internet. It is one of the must fundamental and basic understandings of computer technology. It is not difficult to grasp. But is an essential factor for a “technician” to know as part of the overall knowledge of computers. If he or she doesn’t know what it is or what you can do with it, then they are not a true “technician” and should not be messing around with your or anyone computers)

If the "technician" is unable to give you a positive answer, then he or she is merely a "fitter" not a "technician"

A "fitter" is someone trained to fit things together to make a whole assembly, without having to understand how the assembly works once it is completed. Unfortunately in today’s misuse and misinterpretation of the English language, the “fitters” are too often given the title “technician” and thus we the ordinary customer are led to believe the so-called “technician” knows what he or she is doing when in fact they don’t

Much of what we perceive to be the world and our surroundings in today’s society is a mixture of false basic education, mass subliminal advertising by the Broadcasting / Media outlets and word play by those in authority.

Try to avoid advertising whenever you can
Make a list of what you “need” before you go shopping and stick to it.
Be sure of your understanding of the difference between what you “need”, what “you would like” and “What looks nice on the shelves today”.

Unless you’re quite happy to be simply another slave, doing what your told, buying what your told and obeying without question, the puppet authorities of the greedy rich kid egotistical wealthy. These are the real scum of out society, not the ones driven by them into poverty and eventual slavery.

Whitehorse Whitehorse I am currently in an ongoing nightmare with PC World which I've written about here too. Words fail me (or alternatively cannot be repeated here!!!). Glad you managed to get your PC sorted. 13/10/01
