Great one, HeyWayne
What a laugh. Have gotten angry at some technology but not quite that bad!

Couldn't they have just gone for a nice walk??!!

Is there a law in physics that says computers get more unreliable the closer you get to a deadline? There should be.

That law certainly exists, Paul - even if it's not written down anywhere. It also applies to printers which normally work perfectly well, but start jamming and malfunctioning as soon as they know you have a close deadline.

That was great just e-mailed the link to the lads at work.

Nothing worse that working on a spreadsheet or a letter and the damn thing crashes/freezes, guess what you haven't saved it.

You promise yourself that you will save it next time, but never do.

You can always use the autosave feature, but I hate it. Irt keeps saving the doc or spreadsheet even when you know you are going to change it or add to it in the next two minutes.

One thing that strikes me about these undoubtedly genuine clips - BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU - and that's the scariest technology of all !
