Are you that guy/girl at work?

[johnomaz]

I remember having a palm pilot. It was the size of my Droid1, had a black and white screen, and did nothing but calendar/calc stuff like that. Wow...now I'm feeling old...
But yeah, always been that guy. I maintain a network now, and I still have people bringing me there stuff to fix it. I'm about to doctor an HP laptop that the user says "is a paper weight". Nothing beats that satisfaction of taking something that someone thought was dead, and bringing it back to life.
Give a man a fish vs. teach a man to fish is a good analogy...
I prefer: Build a man a fire, he's warm for a night; set him on fire, he's warm for the rest of his life.

Yep, and I had NetHack on mine... spent hours exploring dungeons.

Edit:
Damn it, just downloaded it from the app store hehe.

Prepare to waste the day my friend. Jeez...even thinking back that far is giving me all kinds of nostalgia. Diablo2, how I hated you and loved you. kids these days dont know what they where missing out on.

Oh man, Diablo2. I too miss that old friend and am glad its gone. Now that Diablo 3 is coming...how am I going to clear out my schedule =P Maybe teach my 4 year old daughter how to play, assuming I can turn down the gore some.

i try not to let on exactly how much i know about a particular topic, but when someone asks me a question i tend to spill the beans

you'd be surprised how many people don't even have an idea of what port forwarding is... lol it's crazy to me that people don't read up on the internet on how to fix there problems
