Just yesterday we had a meeting off site, my boss was driving this computer someone lent. Finsihing the meeting he had to save a couple of documents that were the result of the meeting, he looks at me and says "how the fuck do I know what Office version was this saved as? How do I know I'll be able to open this back in the office?". Me: "I refuse to fight Office to find out what version it was, save a couple with different formats!" It's not the first time I see people that usually call us "...nerds who get so agitated... " get bitten by the very tool they are teaching us should be used for some unknown efficiency variable. I wont even mention the Office versioning nightmare they have on the Citrix farm ;)
