Connect Me Please

As I walked into my favorite coffee shop, the cafe’s manager pulled his head out of a customer’s laptop.

“Mr. Mazen, we have been waiting for you” he said.

“Why? What’s the matter?” I asked wondering.

“We have just installed a new DSL wireless network and we can’t get any customer to log on the network” he explained.

I sat next to that frustrated customer (who I didn’t even know) I worked my way through Windows XP’s aggravating windows to connect that PC to the internet, 15 minutes later the PC was online.

“Mr. Mazen” said the manager apologetically would you connect the two other PCs?”

“Sure” I went to the other customers’ PCs and connected them all, it took sometime, and seemed like each PC had a different way to connect, with a different set of annoying problems, but in the end I connected all three PCs.

“Sorry sir for all this inconvenience” apologized the manager.

“No, not at all don’t worry about it”

“you still need to connect your PC” said the manager.

“Oh yeah, but I would like you to witness how I do that” I said walking to my table, I pulled my Mac from its case, woke it up from its sleep, as the manager sat next to me looking at my monitor, I turned airport on, then fired up Safari.

I was surfing the net in a blink.

“That’s it?” asked the wide-eyed shocked manager.

“yeah, that’s pretty much it” I assured him.

“Mr. Mazen I used to work as a network technician” he said “and I have never seen anything like that, I will get a Mac”

All the sudden the first client I helped shouted out from his table

“Me too!”
