ABOUT MICROSOFT WINDOWS.

We were privileged to find a Microsoft technician who was happy to answer some of the questions users frequently ask about the Windows operating system.

    There’s an old joke:

    Some people were taking a tour of the Seattle area in a blimp. Alas, the fog rolled in, so they couldn’t see anything.

    Just then, a sudden electrical issue shut down the blimp’s navigation systems, so all they had left was a compass. However, for the compass to help, they needed to know their current location.

    The captain brought the blimp lower and lower to look for a landmark. Suddenly, a building appeared through the fog, and they could see a man standing on the building’s roof.

    The captain opened a window, and yelled “We’re lost – where are we?”

    The man replied: “You’re in a blimp.”

    The captain thanked the man, consulted his map, and put the blimp on a course that quickly took them to their destination.

    One of the passengers said: “How did you know what course to set?”

    The captain replied: “The man gave us information that was both technically accurate and completely useless, so I knew we were directly over Microsoft headquarters.

    ;-)
