Hi folks,
Here is one that I have not seen discussed on lm_net or MEMO-L:
We have a teacher who seems to be a technology "jinx." That may not be the best
description, but a computer that works just fine in the shop and works fine for
another person, shows all kinds of problems when this teacher uses it. We have
watched as she turns the machine on and off and have not seen that she does
anything out of the ordinary. This is her second computer. The LCD panel on her
last laptop also blew up. She also blows fuses in her own home when she touches
a light switch and telephones don't often work for her.
Somewhere back in the recesses of my mind I recall reading about people that
cause mechanical problems by their physical presence. Has anyone else known a
person who has these "powers," and if so, was there a fix? This teacher is a
special education teacher here in our district and needs to use the computer to
complete her IEP forms. This on-going problem is frustrating for both her and
my technicians!
Feel free to forward this question to any of the more "techie" lists to which
you might subscribe.
I know the truth is out there.
Thanks,
Doug
