The Boss purchased a digikal camera recently, and informed me one morning that she was having trouble getting the pictures onto her PC at home.
The Boss : "I can't get it to connect to my PC."
Here's me : "Let's see it a wee second... hmmm.. ok, what's happening when you try it?"
The Boss : "It won't connect."
Here's me : "Well, what happens when you plug it in?"
The Boss : "It won't plug in."
Here's me : "There's no USB socket on your PC at home?"
The Boss : "There is, but it's different."
Here's me : "No, definitely not - USB sockets are all the same."
The Boss : "Mine are different."
Here's me : "Nope, definitely not - USB, Universal. All the same."
The Boss : "Mine are definitely different."
I'm not gonna bother arguing this, so instead -
Here's me : "Ok, let's try it here and see."
So I plug the camera in to The Bosses work PC here, and up pops the folder full of photos.
Here's me : "Ok, do you want these copied to your PC then?"
The Boss : "Go ahead then."
So I did.
And that was all ok, until the following day.
The Boss : "Those photos aren't on my PC."
Here's me : "Did you delete them?"
The Boss : "No, they were never there."
Here's me : "But... we were looking at them on your PC yesterday?"
The Boss : "No, my PC at home."
Here's me : "Er... how the hell would they have got onto your PC at home?"
The Boss : "But you said yesterday you were copying them on to my PC."
HELP.
