Having Computer Problems? Don't Ask An Astronaut to Help

After having gone a few rounds with my new computer and its Vista operating system, I chuckled this morning when I saw that NASA astronauts weren't able to get their laptops to play DVD movies aboard the Space Shuttle Atlantis.  You can read what happened in this article from yesterday.

It seems even the most brilliant people in the world, who have the intelligence and NASA training to repair a multi-million dollar space telescope, still have trouble with their technology on occasion.  Even with the best and brightest minds working on it for more than an hour, they still couldn't get it to work.

Yes, I'm smiling right now.
