i love geeks, page 171: on random computer terms you should know

{ Friday 12 September 2008 }

network:  this is a connected group of computers, such as your work network.  to nerds, “network” does not mean drinking all the free booze at an industry party in order to better relate to co-workers.  nor does it mean hooking up with the IT guy in the server room.

re-boot:  this is the standard IT guy answer to any problem.  “doug, my windows won’t open.”  “re-boot.”  “doug, my computer is saying ‘fatal error’.”  “re-boot.”  “doug, my computer seems to be smoking as if it’s on fire.”  “re-boot.”
