xkcd: tech support cheat sheet

So, not too long ago, one of my favourite webcomics, xkcd,  posted one of the funniest and probably most painfully truthful strips I’ve run across in a while.

Now, honestly?  This is how I learned about computers.  Seriously.  No.  SERIOUSLY.  This is how I continue to learn about computers.  This is what I tell my interns to do when they come across a software problem they haven’t encountered before.  Computers aren’t evil, magical machines out to get you people.

Just thought I’d get that out there, y’know?  Computers are our friends.  :)

You’re welcome.  :D

Also?  Check out the rest of the xkcd comics.  They’re funny and smart.

And while you’re in the webcomic neighbourhood, I’d also recommend Weregeek (Mags loves this one), Moosehead Stew (life of a comic artist), Questionable Content (mature hipster content at times), Sin Titulo (mystery), and Abominable Charles Christopher (omg so amazing).
