How Does One Connect The Cabling To A Computer? |
|
I talked to a friend tonight and somehow I got the impression a 77 year-old father, three cats and a vocal but well-meaning sister dosen't help matters.

1. they are largely color coded these days |
|
and if a cable doesn't fit, it doesn't belong there, try a different one until you run out of loose cable.
seriously.

Do you mean network? If so, what type of network connection?
Or do you mean all of the cables for a computer you just moved or bought, etc?

3. I Bought A New One For A Friend |

Everything was checked out and tested before we left the store, but she's getting so much assistance from her 3 cats, 77 year-old father and sister she's getting flustered.
AC cord, USB 2.0 cord to printer and her cable ISP connetion which she went through on her old system plus the idiot-proof connections from port-to-monitor.
Will someone besides me please tell her that's she has had more experience than "they" have and to stop listening to hormonally-influnced advice (not her Dad; her cats...I ain't about to mention her sister.)

5. You Know, I Don't Know |

I just checked for the basics like a warrenty and math/word processing programs and a good AV subscription.
I assumed she had the old card and CD from her old computer.
I'll check on it tomorrow.
