    How do I print a movie

    Just a quick one

    I work at an IT service desk for a major financial firm these days and I got this call on Monday, which was ridiculous.

    Me: Good Afternoon (blah blah blah) how may I help you.

    Guy: Hi, I'd like to know how to open a file that was sent to me in an attachment, I need to install Flash player.

    Me: (thinking it's weird, because their computers generally have it) Ok, let's check your system, just to see if there's a version on the system (there is) Could you tell me exactly what message you got when trying to open the file.

    Guy: It said, choose the program you wish to open this with, then it has internet explorer, so what do I do.

    Me: (thinking this seems like a pretty simple thing to log a call about) If you choose internet explorer and click OK it should open for you.

    Guy:Oh, yeah, cool, it's working now, can I ask another question.

    Me: Yeah, sure.

    Guy:How do I print this file.

    Me: Sorry?

    Guy: How do I print this file.

    Me: Does the file have a moving image in it sir?

    Guy: Yeah, I need to print it urgently, It needs to be given in a printout to a partner within the firm.

    Me: Well I suppose you could take a screenshot of it.

    Guy: It needs to be the whole file.

    Me: Sorry sir, but you can't print a moving image.

    Guy: That's ridiculous.

    Me: Well, I'm sorry about that.

    So I have a question, did somebody somewhere create printer paper which can display a moving image, and also a printer that does the same thing, I didn't think so.

    Tell him to send you the file and then make a stick figure flip book and send it to him. :-)

          Wait, I did see something like a piece of paper that could show moving images...

          Oh, yeah, now I remember. In a sci-fi movie. Good thing I have a brain that can distinguish between fact and reality - that guys switch seems to be broken.

            I've seen various versions - I would ask him exactly how one would go about printing a movie picture though...

              A partner has requested a printout of this file from poor "Guy," who is worried about his career, considering the current situation for most investment institutions. From what I understand, Guy telling a partner that he can't give him a requested item could be career suicide.

              I hope Guy has a current CV.

                So he wants to print a moving picture? Cute, what does he do for his next trick? Feel colors? Taste sounds?

                  actually I've heard that some people with certain brain injuries can do that...

                  back on topic... what idiot thought that a piece of paper could have a moving image on it? Unless it was something that could be done with like a holographic finish (you know the ones that change when you view them at different angles) but I seriously doubt that's what they meant as I'm sure if it was they would have the equipment for that and would already know how to use it.

                    Have you ever noticed that SC's, especially of the entitlement-whore variety, always fall back on that phrase when they are told no? Or called on their BS?

                      Ummm.... ummmm... yeah

                      This reminds me of my old boss, who wanted a printout of the internet. THE internet, not a page, not a website, THE internet.
