15:46:34 dzhos: so, remember a while ago when i was all, like, working on building/setting up/etc this computer for kat and brad? okay, so they know, like, _nothing_ about computers. and kat's mom gave 'em this scanner. so she wants to get it all connected and whatnot, i'm not really sure what for. and she can't get it to work, partially because she knows nothing about computers and partially because that's a very old computer and a very new (and crappy) scanner and, probably, partially for other reasons i'm not thinking of. and she also wants microsoft word, because she wants to, like, use it for their wedding guest list and invitations and like that. and when i set up their comp, i just gave 'em wordpad, which, after all, is a totally sufficient, and efficient, word-processor, especially for an ancient machine like that one. anyway, so the other day i gave her an m$ office cd and promised to help w/the scanner later. and i also gave her a windows 98 cd, while i was thinking of it, because it might be necessary to install the scanner. and i said, y'know, just hang on to this for now, we might need it later. and so i was over there last night, and i found that she reinstalled windows.
15:48:09 dzhos: also, a while ago, she was telling me their monitor was broken. so i went over there w/an old monitor that i was willing to let 'em borrow, only to find that their monitor wasn't broken, just not plugged in. so i plugged it back in, and left my old spare monitor there. what can i say, i'm lazy. and now they're using my old monitor. i can't decide if i should be upset about these things, or hurt-feelinged, or nothing, or what.
15:48:18 dzhos: but what's up with you?
15:49:34 X----x: haha. don't be upset. they just dont get it.
