10 Laws of Computing
If you have reached the point where you really understand your computer, it's probably obsolete.
When you are computing, if someone is watching, whatever happens, behave as though you meant it to happen.
When the going gets tough, upgrade your computer.
The first place to look for information is in the section of the manual where you'd least expect to find it.
For every action, there is an equal and opposite malfunction.
To err is human...to blame your computer for your mistakes is even more human, its downright natural.
He who laughs last, probably has a back-up.
The number one cause of computer problems is computer solutions.
A complex system that doesn't work is invariably found to have evolved from a simpler system that worked just fine.
A computer program will always do what you tell it to do, but rarely what you want it to do.
And just as a supplement, if you ever hear a computer engineer refer to 'picnic' when fixing your pc, it means 'problem in chair, not in computer'.

A computer never files things where they are easy to find. rolleyes
I teach computer systems and I can guarantee that if someone says "it doesn't work" and I go over to see them do it again - to find out what the problem is - it works. Must be the aura or something.
I have a picnic to deal with on many occasions... I shall remember that acronym fondly when fixing 'the pc'...
I'm an IT professional, I just console myself with the knowledge that this is not the first generation of techno challenged users, it been happening for years! See what I mean.
Picnics are a problem. But you can treat them with a good dose of RTFM.
Read The F**ing Manual.

We used to refer to an OE problem if we wished to be polite about 'something not working'
OE= Operator Error :mrgreen:
I prefer to use the term:
"chair to keyboard interface"
;-)
Or more blatantly:
"the problem seems to be the nut behind the keyboard"

I love computers. Yesterday I spilt pineapple juice down one, today after it had finished drying, I spilt water down it to clean it redface

Me too - but it sometimes disappears suddenly - am I doing something wrong?

If the important bits (like women) don't get our attention on first page (glance), then the rest probably wasn't that important.
