If I remember, I heard someone looking for a copy of Linux in a retail store. Granted, Linux has some paid distros, but I think he was looking for Ubuntu, even though it's available for free online.

One day in school I was messing with nover and my nspire crashed, and it would not reboot correctly. Sad  I knew all I had to do was go home and do a complete reformat. Later that day I went to a fellow math teacher because she also has an nspire (she doesn't know what ndless is), I then told her what had happened and she said "Ooh you might have downloaded a virus". <_<  I tried to explain that "THERE ARE NO F***ING VIRUSES ON THE NSPIRE PLATFORM!" but she still didn't understand.  Frustrated

Today my mom asked me how to use our scanner.  <_<

In fact, Ndless is very similar to a virus Tongue
It exploits bugs, manipulates stuff in memory, makes itself run at boot and other stuff.

I have seen ubuntu disks in stores before. They might have been looking for one of those. Some people don't want/can't burn their own disks for distros so most of the big ones sell disks

^^Hm, which button has to do with programs...? Let's see, how about [PRGM]? Now, there's a list of ones to EXEC, to EDIT, and an option for NEW...Wow, you go to NEW to make a NEW program!!!

I don't know. Sometimes it does have to do with how you grew up or how much exposure you've had to technology but in cases like the above just a little effort and analytic thinking will get the job done without needing to ask for help. And you never know Spence, maybe she was just hitting on you Wink

My Mom:
You mean you can't put a flash drive into my iPad?

Spoiler for Hidden:
The punchline is that she doesn't even know what a flash drive is x.x


EDIT: another-

Mom: 16 gigabytes? Is that how many thousands of songs I can have?
Me: Sure, mom.

I just recently broke my android tablet, and got it stuck into an impossible bootloop. Both of my parents had no clue what that was, even when I showed them.
Its like when Im playing minecraft or terraria, and my mom watches me play and questions everything I do. (She does it just to be obnoxious.)
I think sometimes its just best for the person to nod rather then keep asking questions.

My mom: "How do I make a backup?"
I show her how and then guide her through doing it herself.
Funny part is, I've shown her at least ten times by now.

Spoiler for Still Alive:
This was a triumph.
I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS.
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.

Aperture Science:
We do what we must because we can.
For the good of all of us
Except the ones who are dead.

But there's no sense crying over every mistake
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake
And the science gets done and you make a neat gun
For the people who are still alive.

I'm not even angry.
I'm being so sincere right now.
Even though you broke my heart and killed me.
And tore me to pieces.
And threw every piece into a fire.
As they burned it hurt because
I was so happy for you.

Now these points of data make a beautiful line
And we're out of beta we're releasing on time.
So I'm GLaD I got burned think of all the things we learned
For the people who are still alive.

Go ahead and leave me.
I think I prefer to stay inside.
Maybe you'll find someone else to help you.
Maybe Black Mesa -
THAT WAS A JOKE. HA HA, FAT CHANCE.
Anyway, this cake is great:
It's so delicious and moist.

Look at me still talking when there's science to do.
When I look out there it makes me GLaD I'm not you.
I've experiments to run there is research to be done
On the people who are still alive

And believe me I am still alive.
I'm doing science and I'm still alive.
I feel FANTASTIC and I'm still alive.
While you're dying I'll be still alive.
And when you're dead I will be still alive.

Still alive
Still alive

Oh, I see only now this topic and it rightaway reminded me on something I read a few years ago.
I had a certain usb stick that suddeny had decreased it available size. I found a thread where they explained that that stuff happened with those kind of usb sticks. And they were just bad quality. Despite all that was written there someone decided to write very ignorantly :"I think it's a virus." .
This really made me laugh back then Tongue
