The training, for most part, has been boring. Had it not been for the generous portions of breaks we get I am very certain that Saimeet and I would have ended up closing our eyes and snoring loudly. We infact did it a few times, closing the eyes I mean. Few apparent idiosyncracies of our trainer always had us in splits. Of course there were reasons for him to do that but we found it funny. Like every time he logs into a new user account (and you do that a lot of times when you're teaching Windows Server 2003) every single time, before doing "anything" else he will change the start menu to Classic. Again whenever he created any new partition or volume (and again he created quite a lot of them) he would, every single time, religiously remove the words "New Volume" while creating them. Anyway, training is going on, and will go on for another 2 weeks. Hopefully my desktop which has in an un-operable state since last few weeks, may be more than a month, will come up by this weekend, if my friend manages to fix the SMPS, and it works.

In the class everybody except for us are freshers. Of course they are new to the practical IT field, and are unexperienced, still some of the answers that came out of the group greatly amused us. For example the trainer asked, "What is the difference between Windows 2000 and Windows XP". An answer came, "Support for USB drives". In another instance trainer asked, "How many types of hard driver are there"? An answer came, "Internal and External Drives". In yet another instance the trainer asked, "How many types of partitions are there?" We couldn't see who said it but a very serious and earnest voice said, "Magical".
