So why did you get new hardware that doesn't support your old

I will give you three guesses!

How did you get loose?

If your customers are making their own choices, and they don't give a
gnat's fart about their paid consultant's opinions (i.e., yours), they
are paying you to support their choices, and you choose to remain
employed by them, then stop whining about making an income on their
choices.

I've yet to see a car mechanic at the shop whine about what choices
their customers made for brand and model of car. They get paid to work
on whatever car the customer has. If your customers made perfect
choices as you profess they should, they wouldn't need you and you'd be
collecting welfare or living with your parents and having them feed you.

Hmm, they're paying you to be their consultant, but they don't listen to
you. That might be a clue as to whether they really want you working
for them. Seems a waste of their money to pay you when they don't care
about what you recommend.

I've yet to see any customer that had a perfect setup when you show up
after they hire you. Ever have a sysadmin job at a corporate site?


You were not there. I gave no details other than the spec
on the label printer. I did not tell anyone the outcome
or what I did. I made no mention of the custmer's reaction.
Yet you seems to know. How is that?

WHO UNTIED YOU ????

You did when you mentioned old printers not having the necessary
hardware on a new PC, and old but critical software that won't on a
later version of the OS. Then you overtly asked me to guess. If you
cannot retain the train of thought in a subthread, reread it before
replying.


Hi Vanguard,

You actually thought I was asking you to guess? "I will
give you three guesses" was SARCASM.

Here is a tip when dealing with me. If you are curious about
the details of something, just ask me. And reframe from
answer every possible sererio I might answer. Doing such
comes off at the least as you being a blow hard and at
the worst as condescending.

And you are a blow hard, but the good kind of blow hard.
I am too to a certain extent. I don't believe you
mean to be condescending either, or I would have kill
filed you years ago.

When I answer you with the details, then its time for
your missives.

And remember, I have the attention span of a 12
year old (a gnat) as well as the sense of humor
of one. Get to the point without the rambling.
