Speaking of laptops

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

You know what I discovered when I went to setup some things on that laptop so someone could use it today? The last person to take it out returned it sans power adapter! Since the battery is not charged, it’s pretty much useless until we either find it, or order a replacement. (I don’t have any extras, and I would give them the adapter to my personal laptop but it’s a different manufacturer and doesn’t work with it.)We’ve got a call in to the place where it was used last to see if it was left behind. Let’s hope they find it and ship it back. Not that anything can help those people who wanted to use it today. They’ll just have to do without.

    I just listened to this interview Phil Gerbyshak gave to some students. It’s a good 45 minutes talking about working in IT, the current status of technology, and where it’s headed.
