Blonde talk

Recently, I was privy to a conversation between two blonde bomb shells. I was in my kitchen fixing up a breakfast for myself. I couldn't help myself from overhearing these two girls trying to do something with their laptop. Blondes and computers - it was just too irresistable a combination to miss.

One of them was giving a lecture on computers to the other. It got me really curious mostly because, the one who was lecturing, previously, had thought that Linux was a contraceptive. I wish it was, because I am on it all the time :)

As I continued listening to their conversation, I understood that they were trying to fill some online form. It involved typing out some personal information and as you would have guessed, they did not remember most of their own information.

This was when the smart blondie decided to take out her laptop, instead of the one that they were using already. The other one was wondering how that would help. Thats when the smart one came up with this technical explanation, that was very impressive. At least for the time being.

She said that her laptop has been configured to use its built-in memory that captures personal information and stores it on the disk. When you connect to the internet modem, it talks with the Internet provider and retrieves the information and fills up the information.

Now, I work with computers and make a living out of it. But her explanation left me dizzy for a while. She was cock-sure (cock-sure probably is the best way to describe her confidence :)) about what she was talking.

I walked up to them and took a peek at their work-in-progress. And what do you know? The built-in memory - internet modem- information retriever - configuration was nothing but Google toolbar!

She should probably be Google's technical writer!
