As we expand our administration we have needed to look at the church computers, networking and storage. I find it all very confusing, albeit necessary. You may be able to relate to following funny sketch.
Craig: I would like to help you set up your new office computer network system.
Mark: Thanks. I wouldn’t know where to start, but I'm thinking about buying a new computer.
Craig: Mac? Mark: No, the name's Mark. Craig: Your computer Mark: I don't own a computer. I want to buy one.
Craig: Mac? Mark: I told you, my name's Mark. Craig: What about Windows? Mark: Why? Will it get stuffy in here? Craig: Do you want a computer with Windows? Mark: I don't know. What will I see when I look at the windows? Craig: Wallpaper. Mark: Never mind the windows. I need a computer and software. Craig: Software for Windows? Mark: No. On the computer! I need something I can use to write sermons, track church members and run the Food Bank. What do you recommend? Craig: Office. Mark: Yeah, for my office. Can you recommend anything? Craig: I just did. Mark: You just did what? Craig: Recommend something. Mark: You recommended something? Craig: Yes. Mark: For my office? Craig: Yes. Mark: OK, what did you recommend for my office? Craig: Office. Mark: Yes, for my office! Craig: I recommend Office with Windows. Mark: I already have an office with windows! OK, let's just say I'm sitting at my computer and I want to type a sermon. What do I need? Craig: Word. Mark: What word? Craig: Word in Office. Mark: The only word in office is office. Craig: The Word in Office for Windows. Mark: Which word in office for windows? Craig: The Word you get when you click the blue 'W'. Mark: I'm going to click your blue 'w' if you don't start with some straight answers. What about financial bookkeeping? You have anything I can track the church money with? Craig: Money. Mark: That's right. What do you have? Craig: Money. Mark: I need money to track my money? Craig: It comes bundled with your computer. Mark: What's bundled with my computer? Craig: Money. Mark: Money comes with my computer? Craig: Yes. No extra charge. Mark: I get a bundle of money with my computer? How much? Craig: One copy. Mark: Isn't it illegal to copy money? Craig: Microsoft gave us a license to copy Money. Mark: They can give you a license to copy money? Craig: Why not? THEY OWN IT! (A few days later) (Adapted from an Abbott and Costello sketch) |
