Today I had a patron who wanted to type something in MS Words. When she asked what our computers used I informed her that they have Word on them.
Her: "Is that Words?"
Me: It's Word.
Her: "Is that what I need?" (shows me the paper where she has written MS Words)
Me: "I'm not sure. It will probably work if you save it as a rich text file (.rtf)."
Her: "Would I have it on my computer at home?"
Me: "I'm not sure. Works is pretty basic and would probably work."
Her: "But you don't have Words?"

Lowdown Dirty Dog Theif
A mouse has been stolen from our computer. What kind of person steals a computer mouse???? A mean one, that's who. We are now down to three computers for public use.
On another note, we just had a man come in to see if we had any computers available for use. No, they were all in use. He just decided he'd go to library X because they have more computers anyway. Duh, of course they do. Library X is part of a very large system and is one of the larger libraries in that system. They have a lot more money to spend on computers. I wonder sometimes if people think they are insulting us by telling us about how other libraries have more stuff.
We know. Remember, we's the ghetto library.
