It's an energy field created by all functional computers. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the galaxy together." What they ask: "Where does the printer come out?"What they mean: "Where is the printer in this room?" My usual answer: "A printer usually comes out of the top of a box, unless you're in a real hurry." What they say: "The computer won't turn on."What they should ask: "How do I turn on the computer?" My usual answer: "How long have you been in this class again?" What they ask: "How do you eject the CD on this? I'm just curious."What they mean: "My music CD I shouldn't have been listening to won't come out of the computer." My usual answer: "Let me eject that for you. Oops!

What I answer: "The program is already running. Open a window. See, if you have two open windows with a shared menu bar, it is actually less confusing than if you have a menu bar in every window. I know you don't care; stop rolling your eyes at me." What they say: "The computer didn't save it."What they mean: "I hit save and have no clue about where the file might have been saved because I don't fundamentally get the whole 'file hierarchy' thing." What I answer: "Apple-F." Jeff Adkins is a science teacher who isn't afraid to state his preferences in computing platforms.
