How many engineers does it take…

Our marketing intern started yesterday (Monday morning). More on that in a future blog post…
In preparation for her arrival, I set up an old Dell computer for her on late Friday afternoon. While I’m currently an avid Mac user–and have been for at least five years now–at one point in my life I used PCs for both work and home.
I didn’t think setting up the Windows-based computer would be a big deal. I figured out where all of the cords went, and everything looked good — but then the monitor wouldn’t turn on. What could I have done wrong? Well, plugging it in might have been a start. Gimme a break though… it was Friday afternoon and that cord was mysteriously missing from my pile.
But what takes the cake is that once I got everything up and running I noticed that the task bar was up at the top of the screen, instead of at the bottom where most people are used to seeing it. (Note the blue task bar at the top of this image):
I know I’ve made this change before on my previous PCs but could not figure out how to do it. A couple of other people in our office tried (even one of our Mac engineers!) with no luck. It was pretty hilarious to watch a few people try to move the task bar without success.
For the record, you move the task bar by *left-clicking* and slightly dragging the mouse…. Ah, Windows.
