    My turn to vent a little...

    I am in the IT field also. This is a call that I have gotten a few times:

    User: I am trying to enter the number of items I want to order but when I hit the number, nothing shows in the field.

    Me: Are you using the number pad on the right side of the keyboard?

    User: Yes

    Me: Try using the numbers at the top of the keyboard.

    User: That worked!

    Me: Go back over to the 10-key pad on the right side of the keyboard and press the key that says 'numlock'. There is also a light there that says 'numlock. Is it on?

    User: I don't see it.

    Me: Its in the top row, above the '7'.

    User: Oh, okay

    Me: Now try to enter a number in the blank using the 10-key pad

    User: Oh, okay. Yeah.

    MORAL OF THE STORY: IF YOU ARE REQUIRED TO USE A COMPUTER TO WORK, YOU SHOULD HAVE SOME TYPE OF COMPUTER LITERACY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
