Oh that's so sad and funny at the same time! I guess
his knowledge wasn't so minimal if it took him a week
to get the error.
Thanks for the Friday laugh!

Seeing as it's Friday:
A long time ago, in an office full of Macs (with the
sounds turned off) we
tricked a coworker.
He was an elderly gentleman with little computer
knowledge, his name was
Dave. Do you see where this is going? :)
One evening we turned on only the error noise on his
computer and loaded
HAL "Dave, I can't let you do that Dave.".
Took an entire week for him to finally invoke the
error noise. After a
brief exclamation, we found him in front of his
computer stunned, silent,
and somewhat worried. "How, the **** does the computer
know my name?"
