Maybe the cartoonist needs to ask that question as well, cause thats not a hard drive either.

Yes, but its a common misconception by people calling the tower a hard drive, don't even bother arguing this one

hehe i bet there'll be a case wing and a hard drive wing soon, let the mud slinging begin
Yep. I just love users. My Sister In Law is the worst of the family. She bought an Emachine about 3 years ago. Celeron @ 400, 4 gig hard drive, 32 mb Ram. Well, when I replaced my wifes motherboard, I also went with DDR instead of SDRam, so I had a 128mb stick of Sd just sitting here. I told my sister-in-law this, and that I would put it in their computer for nothing. So I did, they weren't home, so I just went over, did it, made sure it booted and left. I get a call that evening.
"I thought you said you put more memory in this thing?"
"I did."
"My Computer doesn't say it has any more memory"
At this point I was a little stunned, thinking she actually right clicked on my computer and it was saying 32mb there still, but then, that would be giving her way too much credit.
"What do you mean, My Computer?"
"You know, where you look at your floppies and stuff."
"Oh, well, that would show your HARD DRIVE space, not memory"
"Huh?"
One of these days I'm going to quit working for family.

Too cute for words
I think I expect more from my family because I know they aren't idiots. Unfortunately, all they generally know about computers is how to use the apps they use every day and my phone number. I try not to discuss hardware with them at all. I finally installed a virtual desktop on Mom's machine because it's an hour drive to go down there and show her (again!!!!!!) how to defrag, or clear her internet cache or......PuterTutor said:

I wish my extended family wasn't on dialup. Otherwise I'd do the same (IA is a long drive from here
)
