Is Bertha Venation a complete and total idiot?

Poll question: Is Bertha Venation a complete and total idiot?

You'll know what I'm talking about if you saw my "help opening winzip file" post today.

Am I truly the only one on the planet who's ever done what amounts to asking for help to run a virus?

BTW, Mrs. V., a true Chiphead, saved the day, our computer, and my ass. She is the goddess of the hard drive.

1. Don't be so hard on yourself.... who cares?

Don't sweat the small stuff.

[Bertha Venation]

2. Bah!

Honey, my life is sweating the small stuff. It's in my genes. Try as I might, it's a waste of time to go easy.

3. Take two, they are small... what the hell?

4. Can you ask the Chiphead Goddess of the Hard Drive something?

Has she ever played with Linux? And if not so, would she like to?

[Bertha Venation]

7. The answers are no, and a very quick YES.

9. PM me your postal address, I'll ship Ms. CGotHD

Knoppix, a Linux distribution that can be run by from a CD without installing anything on the hard drive. Although it CAN be installed on the hard drive if the user so desires. http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html

It's because I bought my first CD recorder last week (depressed 3rd World currency is a bitch, now they're WAY cheap) and I'm happy and I want to spread the love.

11. Done.

Thank you ever so! How fun.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

15. Got it

Someone else asked for one too. I'll give, but I'll stop at three.

5. No you're not an idiot...I've had my days too where I've done dumb shit...

It happens to everyone.

6. No.

But I rememeber the idiot in JP/S who thought you were a troll because of your username. When confronted with more likely reasoning and explanation, she chose to blame the victim... you.

[Bertha Venation]

8. You remember that? Wow.

So do I, and I remember being stunned first by the accusation, then by her reaction when I didn't disappear, then her further reaction when I didn't lay down & just take her shit.... and then after all that I was stunned to learn this was a woman. :shrug:

I go back to that thread FTTT and shake my head. Tsk.

17. One of those odd little things that has no explanation.

I can remember minor conversations I had 30 years ago, but couldn't tell you what I had for lunch yesterday... although, now that I think about it, I had a meatball sub (submarine sandwich, hoagy or grinder to all you non Bostonians :)

10. What could be trollish about "Bertha Venation"?

If there's a pun in the name, it flew way over my head.

[Bertha Venation]

12. "Birth Of A Nation" was a racist film

made in the silent era. A DUer took my play on the name, which actually came from playwright Harvey Fierstien (it's the name of a drag queen), as a sign that I MUST be a racist asshole troll.

Even after it was revealed that I was not a racist troll, she stuck stupidly to her guns. :shrug:

14. *SMACKS SELF'S FOREHEAD WITH EXTREME PREJUDICE*

THAT!!! Is JCCyC a complete and total idiot?

[SOteric]

13. Didja learn something from it?

Yes? Then you're not an idiot.

If you post the same question tomorrow, - maybe...

[populistmom]

16. No way!

You're one of the sweetest people here and very thoughtful (and thought-provoking) as well.

19. Don't feel bad, one of my tech support calls today

I got the ticket to take a visit, this guy had been rebooting his computer all day, not getting past the NTLDR missing screen, talked with the phone level guys for an hour, wondering what to do. I walked in his office, looked at his machine, popped the floppy disk out and left

:evilgrin:

[SOteric]

20. *snarf!*

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

23. Oh shit... LMAO how did he get through the phone guys?

[Catshrink]

21. Be kind to yourself....

It happens... I once sent a virus to Australia.

Cuddle with your kitty and fuggitaboutit.

[mac56]

22. NOOOOOOOO!!!

Never!

:pals:

[Bertha Venation]

25. 3 "ayes" and 12 "partial idiots"?

:wtf:

Oh, well, I asked for it.

I love you guys & girls. :grouphug:

[GOPisEvil]

26. Eh...we're all partial idiots...

I've had my :dunce: moments. Few and far between *cough* but still...;-)
