There, I feel better now....

But I've just eaten 3 pieces of fried chicken & need to remove the grease somehow - not on my screen either

The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence

The absence of consumable DDL, sample data and desired results is, however, evidence of the absence of my response

But if I don't touch the screen how do I know you are looking at what I am talking about!!!!

Absolutely. That's just one reason I carry a laser pointer with me everywhere I go, even to the beach, along with my cellphone, PDA, scientific calculator, Leatherman tool, GPS receiver...

Man ! Quiet please ! You might have just blown away my next great business idea for HVS (Holographic Virtual Screens).

Not too long ago someone else did the same with a new protocol we had in mind (PTP - Personal Transport Protocol, which would send you anywhere in the Internet)

Hard to get in first nowadays.

DB

The systems fine with no users loggged in. Can we keep it that way ?br>

Fingerprints are NOTHING! My daughter had a lit candle on the top of her computer monitor. For two days now, she's been trying to clean the wax off the screen.

I hate it when people touch my screen. That is the second worst thing that can be done.

The absolute worst thing is when the janitors helpfully use some harsh, generic cleaning solvent to wash away all the fingerprints, dust, and anti-glare coating from a 21-inch monitor, thus turning it into a very expensive mirror/display.

So long, and thanks for all the fish,

Tim,

Are yo telling me to put down my extra glaze donut and wash my hands before touching your keyboard??

This is starting to sound an awful lot like a real work environment!!!!

Good grief... how do any of you play games without beer and some sort of munchies next to your keyboard? You just have to ACCOUNT for the occasional EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT, PEOPLE!!!

(This is also why I buy cheap keyboards and mice )

Two muffins are sitting in an oven. The first one turns to the second and says "pretty hot in here, huh?"
The second muffin glances at the first and then shrieks in fear,
"AAAAAAHH!!! A TALKING MUFFIN!!!"

Bill: Don't tell me, the power was off but your daughter still wanted to use her computer, so she lit a candle?

Or this works.

As long as we're ranting...

When I issue you a shiny new $2,500 touchscreen laptop (stylus included) will you please use ANYTHING but a freaking pen when you touch the screen?

And while we're at it, laptop computers contain delicate machinery not designed to run for months on end in 'suspend' mode. A simple reboot now and then is a good thing, don't you think?

Now please excuse me while I clean the blueberry muffin crumbs from my keyboard.

My hovercraft is full of eels.

Naw......she knows better than to pull that one........

It was a scented candle and she just wanted some good scents while she computed. I told her she should have gone for the good sense instead.
