Especially the part about teaching a beginner how to use the computer! When I was still a software applications trainer, I was trying to get some folks (aged in their 50s) to learn a new application. I said :"Students, with your mouse, point to this button." And you know what the students did? They literally put their physical mouse onto the monitor where the button was. If only we had touch screen monitors then! Great article, btw. Cheers. I truly attest to what you say. Especially the part about teaching a beginner how to use the computer!

Its not always the device itself that is important a lot of the time it is the information stored within, for example your cell phone or camera. Everybody loses things, but if it has some sort of importance you should protect it. Always protect your valuables with a lost and found recovery service (I personally use TrackItBack).

Replace it with "symptom", and you've accounted for a fair proportion of medical practice. As a doctor and a geek, I'm constantly surprised by how difficult a few of my colleagues find fixing computer problems (be they hardware or software), as medical diagnosis serves so well as training for this...

]]> Comment on Reviews of “Reviews of This Book” by Charles in Vancouver http://www.reenigne.org/blog/review/comment-page-1/#comment-3505 Charles in Vancouver Sat, 22 Nov 2008 01:08:46 +0000 http://www.reenigne.org/blog/?p=23#comment-3505 The advent of Google Docs provides an interesting platform from which to execute this project. Each author's review could be a doc embedded in a page, such that visiting the "Reviews Of This Book" would present the most up-to-date version possible of every review. Authors could then be invited to re-read the page periodically and edit their reviews dynamically as time passes.
