Wizard of the Deep posted:She's actively participating in a scam. gently caress her. I just ask them in a very sad voice how they would feel if someone scammed their mum like this and don't they feel guilty? The result are about half and half immediately putting the phone down on me vs trying "ma'am this is not a scam" ("no dear, we both know it is") then putting the phone down. Having a nice middle-aged lady voice is useful sometimes. I like to think I've shamed some of them into getting other jobs, or at least given them guilty night thoughts...

Hotel Kpro posted:Sadly we probably won’t be upgrading that for a while. In another hospital we deal with there was something still running XP It's amazing what niche stuff you have to keep running. I've got a client who's got apparently-irreplaceable engraving software on Win 7. We ended up having to keep that PC and insist it just be dedicated to that when we upgraded everything else.

kid sinister posted:I assume you've tried it in compatibility mode? We don't have the installer or any documentation, and the manufacturer evaporated into the ether a decade or more ago. Going to be fun trying to get the backup image working when the inevitable happens. All we can hope is that the engraving machine dies before the Win 7 one.
