Ok, I`ll leave myself open for ridicule here, but what`s the stupidest question a noob has ever asked you?
(And don`t put this one - it`s SO predictable!)

Dunno bout stupid, but the "how do you like my avatar" question is pretty annoying! <_<

Sorry guys, had to go get beer! The anykey is in fact A,N and Y but it`s not shift you need to hold down when pressing them, it`s Ctrl.
Hope that helps

The funniest thing I've ever heard is that a woman had just bought a computer for the first time, and she phoned up the technical support line saying that she could not get the "foot-pedal" to work !!! :lol: :D It turned out that she was talking about the mouse !! :lol:
I suspect it's probably because the woman was used to using an electric sewing machine which has a foot-pedal, and it looks a bit like a mouse, just a bit bigger though. I had to do textile lessons at school, and we used one then.

Reminds me of the woman who phoned technical support complaining that her 'cup holder' had broken.......
Yes, I`m talking about the CD drive!!!
How stupid can you get?!

I once new a bloke that glued his mouse ball into place to stop it getting stolen <_<
When my grandparents bought there computer i was helping them set it up (dnt know why i'm as useless as they are!) i happened to mention to my grandad about there being a mouse in the box somewhere and the next thing i knew he'd run off to get a broom to squash it with!!! :lol:

Yeah, it could get confusing. :blink:
Hey, it was me before as Nobody1234. :angry: :angry: :angry:
a pinned thread perhaps? :lol:
I'm betting you'd get it (the "don't steal"- thing) once or twice, even if your entire sig was made up of an explanation about how it used to be.

· If you post in the Off-topic or Request sections of this board (Lounge and Funny Stuff, Worlds (Requests areas) the posts will not count.
· Posts will count in all the other board rooms, beside the ones referred above.
I like the last line, very n00b frendly, in case someone, didn't manage to read the first sentence properly.
