An evening resolving email issues for a family member
Amazing.
An uncle fights with a Yahoo email issue for 5 weeks and gets unbelievably frustrated, calling multiple people for help.
This evening I get involved, call him up, walk him through installing LogMeIn, take remote control of his PC and within 2 minutes the issue has been resolved. Now of course, from the viewpoint of a complete computer neophyte, what i did looks like complete Voodoo and as such, I am subject to the usual round of :oh, wow! You're amazing, brilliant, what a genius, etc, etc."
That's a part of the equation that I wish I could erase because I know that I didn't do anything praise-worthy and it just makes me feel embarrassed and uncomfortable.
Be that as it may, He is happy,his brother is happy and all is well in the land of web-based email as it pertains to a certain uncle of mine.
If all of life's challenges were this simple to resolve. *Sigh*.
