Here's something that made me giggle. I subscribe to a UK mag called PC
Format and they have their own forums. The other day there was a guy
complaining that system restore wasn't working and he couldn't create a
restore point (it turned out that the SR service had been stopped for some
reason). That wasn't the funny bit - he began his post (and this is a direct
quote) "I work on a large computer helpdesk and consider myself a expert
with all aspects of computers". The reason he needed to create a restore
point? He wanted to flash the BIOS and wanted to restore if anything went
wrong! I pray his boss never reads the group! Needless to say he was flamed
mercilessly for it.
