Re: THE RANT THREAD!
I used to drive a Cargo Van for work,no windows,everything done with mirrors,and I could parallel park in some pretty tight spaces. It was in San Francisco,and you Could NOT pass up a place to park!

Rant,Rant,Rant..I am pretty good with tech and computers,and from time to time I have tutored people new to computers.
Most picked stuff up pretty fast,and I didn't have to keep repeating stuff for them,BUt there were those few that made me loose my composure. One,and this was back in the days when their was only DOS,was gifted with a system. I tried to make it as simple as I could for them(remember this was DOS,you had to enter very long lines to get things done) I wrote a batch file to bring up the word processor(I think it was Word perfect) I named it W.bat so this person could remember it easier. Not so grasshopper,everyday they would ask me again what to type,I put a post-it on their screen,but still they lost the post-it,and would ask again. I kinda lost it,and said "You don't need a computer,you don't deserve a computer,you are to dumb to be even considering using a computer. I did apologize after,but to be honest most of what I said was true.
