I just had to help a guy with an engineering degree change his password over a 5 minute phone call because he can't grasp the idea of a complex password. ....butch(sheesh)

Lusers- you can't teach them anything yet you can't kill them. I wouldn't want to kill them--they're keeping me employed. I'm sure the majority of people here have at least once helped a desparate user who couldn't log in because their caps lock was on. I can live with this sort of minor irritation as long as I have a mortgage to pay. Steve That's a good point. Sometimes I get so irritated by them I forget they ensure job security. OK so I wouldn't kill them but I sure would like to beat some of them with a smart stick.

True, they provide the customer base for my profession, but if they refuse to learn and allow me and the other IT staff members the time to work on more loftier things like improving and securing the network, then we are doomed to chasing phantom problems like the Caps Lock key, forgetting user names and answering questions that are easily researched with the F1 key. ....butch(rant mode on)
