I.T. Myths Debunked
Chapter: The Comic
The comment on panel 4 of today’s comic is one of MY biggest pet peeves, having worked in the I.T. field for a few years. What are some of yours?

As for pet peeves, mine lately has been people calling in a problem ticket about their laptop running slow (not all the time, just every once in a while). People don’t seem to understand that every computer has a limit to how many applications you can install and run at the same time, especially computers over two and half years old. But of course they won’t let me uninstall any of their programs because they’re so critical to their job. And of course their department doesn’t have the budget for a new computer. So I end up defragging, scanning for adware, etc., with minimal results, and I end up looking incompetent because I can’t fix their “problem”.
