Ho Ho Ho - who’ll be in demand Christmas morning?
Posted in Home, Blogs on December 24, 2007 at 11:54 am
The old joke about lost screws and dad spending Christmas morning assembling the kids toys is getting a bit out dated. These days it’s installing and configuring the kids (and grandparents and neighbours and uncle Tom Cobly’s (who happens to have rung to wish me a Happy Christmas & while I’m on the phone do I know anything about digital cameras / MP3 players / networking Vista…)) IT kit.
I know it’ll happen because I’ve bought various bits that will take some setting up myself (can’t say what in case my family break the rule of a life time & read this); so I’ve made a rod for my own back even if no one else has. Hopefully there’s enough other stuff to keep them occupied so that I won’t have to Google instructions until after lunch.
Anyway, let me wish you a very Merry & IT Support Free Christmas!

The only thing needing configuring in our house was a rabbit and it was mine anyway. No other electronics at all for a change. Even did well on the assembling - daughter old enough to want to put her own Playmobil together. So happy hols all round ![]()

Good going - though I’ve heard configuring rabbits can be tricky (how else did my friends two “boys” end up as a growing family?!). Everything worked first time(ish) - hence no googling and not even checking my blog for comments to reply to ![]()
