This is pretty hilarious.

My grans use their laptop almost exclusively for Soltaire. They have like 15000 games recorded.

It's very strange that my dad uses an old 2003 Toshiba laptop for mostly Spider Solitaire when he says it's for offline backup of sensitive data (wifi is fried and ethernet is unresponsive on that system).

Holy moly....
Hate it when people ask me about technical requests. There are a few that I don't mind about (usually those on blue chip investment or buying tips), but most of the time they come along the form of "how do I install software XYZ" or especially "I HATE MY WINDOWS [due to my user stupidity], HELP ME GO MAC!!!111!".
Menorah Jams, Pham:
:] My Outlook is disconnected. I already closed and reopened it and restarted my computer.
::) And when you restarted, it completely powered off and back on? Not just logged off and back on?
:] Right.
::) Okay, when you right-click on where it says Disconnected, does Work Offline have a check mark?
:] It doesn't.
::) Okay, let me have you go to Start, then Shut down.
:] And then click on Restart
::) It'll take a few minutes... my computer's really old, I'm supposed to get a new one soon.
:] (Clicking on the call start time to ensure I get all the minutes) That's fine.
::) (15 minutes later) How's it looking? Are we rebooted?
:] ... just about to get into Outlook... (crestfallen voice) and it's working.
:smug: Glad to hear it.

I told this guy to restart his machine like 12 times, he kept on insisting he did it already and it wouldn't work blah blah blah (there's a policy update for accessing certain network resources and it didn't go through). After shouting and assuring me it wasn't going to work, about 5 minutes later, silence, then click.
