    I don't know but an awful lot of my MFP friends seem to be in need of him on a regular basis.

    Just a joke thread because this is how I initially read the title of the other thread

    Wouldn't it be amazing to have your own person IT guy? Although I guess you can tell yourself to turn something off then on again

    I can't tell you how frequently the only time I hear from a random family member is because something is wrong with their computer.

    When I first moved into my own place after high school, word somehow got out in the apartment complex I lived in that I worked in IT, and there were at least a handful of cases of random people knocking on my door asking if I could fix their computers.

    Yes, got the joke. ;) I was also joking. I sometimes do need my own personal IT assistant! Thank god restarting the router of whatever device is causing me to freak out usually works!

    I never need anyone to fix my computers because I use Apple products exclusively. ;)

    Sorry, didn't mean for it to come off that way, though from my experience the IT fields are 90% men. More women should get into IT though, especially programming!

    That's awesome. I've been working in IT, specifically website development and software development, for all of my professional life. In that time, I've met maybe 1 woman who was also a developer. It's a pretty rare thing, sadly. Most of the women in IT from my experience are either graphic designers (which is an awesome and extremely necessary role) or Account Managers & Sales Reps.

    I'm not bad. Wired my whole house and running a 20 port switch. You can plug in, in almost every room.

    oh i just did it for fun .. a handful of us got to do an IT course in high school (most of us female), which i found useful when i went onto college to do Art & design , i ended up doing media and business management, which was mostly computers and office stuff. Then the internet came along and i was building forums and websites for fun.
