My least favorite computer expression

My least favorite computer expression is:

“The computer won’t let me!”

Since a computer can’t actually exert any control, it really means:

“I don’t know how.”

Keep your perspective when a computer problem creeps up on you, and you'll have a better chance of solving it. Look up the problem on the web, if you can get online, or look in the Help files of any program. And, call Tech support. That's what they're there for. Of course, be sure to read "Before You Call Tech Support," in Computer Ease first.

Cheers,
