It is a day off but I was in the second office for the whole morning trying to make the office whole again after a hard disk crashed. I was working on that and other things till midnight last night, just like the night before. I lot of information disappeared and it turns out the guy they had set up the network took a short cut in hooking up the color laser printer so when the hard disk went so did the ability to print. The company also has a big presentation due for tonight. Things are interesting at the moment.

Someone walked into my office.

"Can we print yet?"

"Did you try to print?"

"We tried yesterday."

"Try today and let me know if it still doesn't work."

I left to pick up another hard drive, the third one in two days, one 200GB and two 120GB. I have big plans.

My cell phone rang while I was heading to sneak in a quick hair cut before I made it back to the office .

"Tim? How are you. It's K from the office. Are you going crazy?"

"No."

"Are you in the area?" she asked after a slight pause.

"Why do you want to know?"

"Well, it's just that I want to try out the projector and I didn't know how hard it is to hook-up."

"It's not that hard to hook-up. It's no harder than hooking up a monitor to a computer." I sort of trailed off a bit and paused slightly before I added "Which isn't too difficult for most folks" I had checked it make sure everything was working the night before.

"Well, maybe I'll have K2 help me." I said nothing. "Are you going to be around, later?'

"I am around now, it's just that I'm in the middle of something"

"Can I call you if we have a problem?"

"Yeah – actually don't call me, just grab me when I get back into the office."

When I got back into the office there looked like there were problems so I hopped right in. One of the problems was that the cable from the computer was connected to the output connection on the projector. So with the aid of hand gestures I explained that the information is traveling out of the computer and into the projector and that into equals input.

"So this projector is worth about $9000?"

"Well closer to $10,000."

She had called me the other day and mentioned that the office might be interested in purchasing a projector. I stated that a projector would cost between $3500 and $8000. She then told me that someone told her that you can buy a projector for $600. After I got control of my flabbergasting, because she knows nothing about technology, I said "Yeah, if they're junk" so when she had me check the projector for compatability last night I also printed out a spec sheet for the projector which retailed for $9,995.98.
