An Australian gentleman's opinion on the IT Industry...

[NickFitz]

I wasnt talking about putting a new hard disk in and reinstalling the OS.

Im talking about sorting columns in excel or using basic formulas.

Topping up the windscreen washer hardly equates to a major system modification. That would be something like replacing the crankshaft. In car-related analogies, the windscreen washer topping-up process equates more to something like sorting columns in Excel.

You can sort columns in excel? Jeez that would have saved me hours. An Australian contractor I knew showed me how to do it by moving each cell, one at a time :P

Some of the best users of Excel are accounts staff.

Oh the reason 18-25 year olds know nothing about computers is that their ICT lessons were how to use Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint.

The syllabus has changed since then.

The over 35s didn't have to do computing at school that's if the school actually had a computer the pupils could use..........

You strike me as someone who just talks shit: all day judging by your posts.

Rambling hormonal drivel.

In the mid-Seventies I had a weekly computer lesson. We had a big old phone that was plugged into 2 rubber type mufflers and a teletext. The teacher would phone up Norwich University and stick the mufflers on and away we'd go. The very first game I played was Golf, entering your direction, speed and trajectory. I loved it and my fascination never went away.

Plenty of people drive cars for years, yet don't know something as simple as how to top up the windscreen washer liquid.

Many people live with central heating for years, yet don't know something as simple as how to bleed radiators.

FTFY
