He explains to me that I was asked to help Mr. MacIntosh yesterday, but I didn't help him or fix his problem. I asked him to elaborate, perhaps I forgot something, and he explained the Excel problem to me. I then tell him the story about numlock and so forth and why it isn't really a problem with the computer, but with the user himself. The manager goes on and on about how I still didn't fix the problemWell, you could always rip off the numlock key from keyboard and patch it with some tape, that way you'd solve Mr McIntosh's problem and kept the job...
</hahaha>
Well...we actually did something like that. Our CAD department uses some Sun Ultra WTF machines which use a special Sun keyboard which have a "shutdown" key, next to the Print-Scroll-Pause combination. In the past employees (all high paid engineers) pressed this key every now and then which results in an instant suspend mode (which somehow causes CATIA to corrupt it files or something like that).
So we removed this key from every Sun keyboard and everybody was happy.
I agree that the real WTF is, that neither CATIA could handle this nor Solaris prompted for shutdown.
