*Tips For The Clueless*

Some Tips for the Clueless (learned the hard way)

If you're bidding on a job for UPS, don't send your bid by FedEx.

If your computer says, "Printer out of Paper," this problem cannot be
resolved by continuously clicking the "OK" button.

If you want your refrigerator's ice maker to work, you need to hook it
to a water source.  Air doesn't make good ice unless it is mixed with
water.

No matter how much data you add to your laptop, it will not get heavier.

A bad place to store your emergency backup diskette is on the underside
of your desk drawer, secured by a large magnet.

It's okay to use the Polaroid Land Camera on a boat.

When the PC says, "Insert diskette #2," don't do it immediately.  Remove
disk #1 first, even if you're sure you can make them both fit in there.

When your PC says "You have mail," don't go to the company mailroom and
look for a package.

The French version of Netscape Navigator doesn't translate English
language web pages into French.

If you're in the armed services and it's April 1st and you get an e-mail
message to call Colonel Sanders for new orders, don't.

If you go to the computer store to buy a mousepad, you don't have to
specify whether it's for a Windows or a Macintosh.

Shalom!
