Awwwwww!

I am afraid that I tend to use XEN to skin MS of some of its bloatware, so they don't work! I used to be pretty good at bringing up the credits in Win3.1x..........and you had to be pixel accurate for that

I also like the flight simulator in Excel 8 (Office97)

These things are not quite as foolish as you might think.........I had a period when I was heavily involved in user training..........no one else wanted to do it and it seemed that I had the "bedside manner"/patience for it? It was quite useful because I was building online and CD interactive courses at the same time. I would show these silly things to the students, who were very impressed and thought that I was a great MS "guru"............but my campus had some of the very senior PA types in it. The IT Department's PA went on holiday "very kindly" leaving our director (EVP) with a partly completed powerpoint presentation for our annual budget and 3 year plan and the message "Johnno can finish it...........he knows all about that sort of stuff"

Well it got done, and my wife got a brand new car out of my annual performance bonus!!!!

Not very fair on the others...............but they didn't want to do the user training courses

Also, I would tell them about e-mail (mostly internal in those days) and the dangers of media brought in from outside................stopped several potentially nasty incidents as a result.

My message is that these things can be used to gain street cred in a working environment.......then you have user trust, and they will come to you if they are not sure, because they know you will NOT laugh at or ridicule them?

/end of sermon...it is Sunday here

Cheers
