So much for Florida\'s millions spent
« on: September 11, 2002, 06:08:29 AM »
Florida spent millions of dollars getting touch-screen computers for voting, after all the presidential problems...and they STILL didn\'t fix the problem

http://www.miami.com/mld/miami/news/politics/4044498.htm

In addition to that link I read today. I caught on the news yesterday that some places were not allowing registered voters to enter the polls even though some systems were working just fine. Other cases of some poll\'s not even being open regardless of working equiptment.

Problems here in Tampa weren\'t the systems, they were the dolts who volunteer to man the booths.  a hundred or so helpers walked out on the voting commisioner the day before the election so she had one day to recruit new people and train them.  It was all screwed up.  

It\'s amazing the lack of intelligence people possess in the world of computers.  Shit I take for granted is like Greek to so many freaking people.  It was so nice when just the freaks and the dorks had computers.  Then I could live in piece and not have to show my boss 8 times a day how to make text bold.

HAAA!!!!   That is my life right there!!!

I tried to teach my boss how to cut and paste  control "C"  /  control "V"

Now, every time she tries,  she ends up printing instead.  HAAA!!!

Every time I hear her printer start, I laugh to myself.
