COMPUTER JOKES

Here’s what your e-mail address says about your computer skills:
Own domain (e.g., @joesmith.com): You’re skilled and capable.
@gmail.com:When the Internet stops working, you actually try rebooting the router before calling a family member for help.
@hotmail.com:You still think that Myspace is hip.
@yahoo.com:You send e-mail chain letters saying that Bill Gates will eat your hard drive unless you forward this message to everyone you know.
@aol.com: You phone friends to tell them about a neat website, then say into the receiver, “OK, go to … h … t … t … p … colon … slash … w … w … w … dot …”

The computer in my high school classroom was acting up. After watching me struggle with it, a student explained that my hard drive had crashed. So I called IT. “Can someone look at my computer?” I asked. “The hard drive crashed.” “We can’t just send people down on your say-so,” said the specialist. “How do you know that’s the problem?” “A student told me.” “We’ll send someone right over.”

My techie husband and I were walking in the high desert when he stopped to photograph one stunning vista after another. Overcome by the sheer beauty, he paid it his ultimate compliment: “Everywhere I look is a screen saver!”

After an enthusiastic recommendation from my wife, I began listening to the audiobook version of Frank McCourt’s Teacher Man.“I love it, but his writing style is so disjointed,” I complained. “He refers to characters I don’t know and introduces them a half hour later.”My wife was as confused as I was, but I soldiered on, disoriented by the jumpy story line. It wasn’t until the end of the book that my dilemma was explained—I had set the iPod to Shuffle.
