I recommend
frequent defraggling of ALL MS-Windows systems.

Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.

And I recently left my laptop overnight to be defragmented!
Silly me, could have done it in an hour.

Q. I think I need to see a specialist, but my doctor insists he can handle my problem. Can a general practitioner really perform a heart transplant right in his/her office?
A. Hard to say, but considering that all you're risking is the $20 co-payment, there's no harm in giving it a shot.

Along this vein
We had a Work Group Manager here (low level IT in the Air Force) that was told she needed to clean her hard drive (it was getting full). She came to the LAN office to get a can of pressurized air.
I kid you not.

And here I was expecting a cutting remark.
One that opens up the vein for inspection, scarring them for life.

Possibly too embarrassed to twit her
(It can be litigious, I hear to tell someone they need to move their pron collection off to a DVD)

Looking for something with an edge?
Something to cut right to the heart of the matter?

Sorry
Never was one for abusing the obviously handicapped
But seriously, in the Air Force, people aren't always given jobs for which they are necessarily qualified. In fact, the Air Force decided to put Information Managers (the Air Force equivalent of a secretary) in charge of fixing computer problems. How bad would it be if some of the civilian secretaries out there were put in the same position?
