I know what you mean though about a lot of so-called IT guys - if I had a dollar for every 'computer expert' I had met over the last 35 years... I'd be typing in this post from a sunny beach somewhere with a styrofoam six-pack just to hand...

These are words spoken with someone with wisdom which only comes with experience.....I know where you are coming from.....and can't agree more. Big Grin

The so-called "computer experts" are a pain in the butt. After 10 years at the same employer, I finally decided I'd had enough a couple of months ago and left. It's not easy to convince a potential employer that you really do know what you are doing after they've been through a few dozen folks with paper certs.

Failry sure (80%) theres some connection limit on XP, this MIGHT be XP Home though....

I'm also an IT guy who knows when its best to NOT say i know stuff when it comes to Microsoft, as there stuff never works as designed anyway so if they cant make it work then i cant...

Heard this many times, its the learned outside UK and USA thing, dont that wind you up.......... having said that they prefer to employ those as then they have a solid reason to put you off work when you cant do it, the "yeah you look good" means they cant actually lay you off as you have that "well i never said i was god" answer.
