    My work experience was excellent. I went to a little computer shop for two weeks and it was brilliant. I had fun and learnt some pretty interesting stuff as well.

    Enjoy!

    Mine was pretty cool too.

    Worked for Bonas Machine Company. Ended up installing windows 3.11 japanese edition onto the controllers for the CNC machines. Pretty mad!!!

    When i left after my week i was given allsorts of hardware. SCSI Hard drives, AWE64, external CD writer... etc... (All brand new stuff.... bear in mind this was about 7? years ago now, since i've been left school 5 years)

    My work expierience was appauling. Worked in a damn shoe shop. It was really nasty helping the elderly put on shoes when they have been going for their daily stroll in the town.

    Old people should wash their feet more.

    im sure i replied to this before, oh well

    first day went pretty well, and all i can say is there are some people that own PCs that shouldnt be allowed to operate anything that requires electricity.

    'my wireless keyboard doesnt work'

    flicked open battery compartment

    +[====]- -[====]+ << notice anything wrong with that layout?

    same person asked me to install a CD writer, looked at front and it already had one (She hadnt even noticed even tho it had adaptec easy CD creator installed). Shes bringing in another PC and a PC world networkin kit that she bought (had no idea how to set it up).

    she also left a note saying please install my HP Deskjet 8xx. she ddidnt leave a driver CD or the printer. :|
