Diploma in Computing Rodney

The student consulted technical support, looked intelligent rather a lot, then set to.

Fair play, by lunchtime she had it all running, then suddenly computer decided it needed to update - all fair and good there then.

All 80 updates took a fair old while and then - grey screen.

This produced a bit of head scratching and a lot of profanity.

Back to technical support she went and got more advice. The poor chap at the other end of the phone was a proper specialist, I think his specialism was hair dryers as he seemed totally lost when it came to computers.

Steadily growing frustration turned into steam under the collar rage, which could have been pretty ugly had the poor chap been in the room.

She is currently sat, trying to be calm reloading things and trying again.

Myself I think firefox is having a scrap with outlook distress and that's the root of it.

I am trying to make helpful suggestions, but any comment at all is living dangerously.
