A Camera Conversation
Tom's comment below reminded me of another conversation I once had with the 'Rottweilers are going to kill you' guy. I thought I'd posted this one before, but can't find it on a search so here it is:
Him (on the phone): I need a videoconferencing account
Me: Ok. Are you going to be putting on meetings because you don't need an account just to attend.
Him: Well, if I don't have an account, how do I get my name to show up instead of 'Guest' when I join the conference?
Me: Type your name instead of typing 'Guest.'
Him: Oh. But, okay, how can people see me when I'm in the conference?
Me: Turn your camera on.
Him: I don't have a camera.
Me: Then people can't see you.
Him: People can see me.
Me: Then you have a camera.
[...Three more rounds of this exact same conversation...]
Me: Hmmm...look, do you have a webcam?
Him: Yes.
Me: That's a camera.
Him: No, it's not.
Me [swearing in my head]: Just use the web cam
Him: Ok. Why didn't you just say that in the first place?
Me: [Falls off chair]
