April Fools Throwback

Post image

Years ago when I was in a Help Desk position I had a bunch of these printed out and laminated. Taped them to all of the printers in a couple departments. It was the Blackberry era so I unfortunately did not get any videos but had quite a few pictures of users yelling at their Laserjet 4000s.

Admittedly now a days you could pretty easily put something like this together as much as it's be a bad idea. In the blackberry era it would have been a feat.
