IT SupportOur IT support guy has been in the job since 1979, and never misses an opportunity to pick up a mouse and say "Hello computer" into it, Star Trek-style. Tell us your tales from the IT support cupboard, either from within or without.

We resurrected an old bit of lab kitjust a simple multiple channel thermocouple interface to a computer, to record temperature changes with time. When I say "old", the computer it was connected to, via some slightly obscure connection, runs Windows 3.1. Somehow IT heard, and anted to check the computer over before we used it, what with them being responsible for computers.
Spotty bloke from IT was stumped. By the DOS prompt. I think he might even be slightly older than I am, and I've a degree in chemistry, not computer science, yet even I can manage to start Windows.
