Default This Site Cracks Me Up!

http://www.computerworld.com/departments/opinions/sharktank

We've all heard stories of bungling PC users or inept technical support staff, but ComputerWorld shares these embarrassing stories with the whole world. From the manager who glued his department's mouse roller balls in place so they wouldn't get lost to the CIO whose electronic door locks are fouled up by the very server they're meant to protect, they're all here. And, if you've got a story of your own to tell, you can share it here, too.



The best part is that you can read these great stories of IT incompetence on your Pocket PC each and every day. You can visit the ComputerWorld Web site to read them, have the stories automatically delivered via e-mail, or read them via ComputerWorld's AvantGo Channel. It's a hilarious way to start the day.

I signed up for this one on AvantGo the moment it cam out. Shark Tank is one of the things I read every day without fail. I love reading about the ... uh... stup... (better not say that).... wonderful things people do in the name of management or IT knowledge!

If there is, I couldn't find it. I searched for both "ComputerWorld" and "shark."

Default Mazingo and ComputerWorld

You can always add a custom channel!

Just get the URL pointing to SharkTank and add it to your Mazingo in the Custom Channels.

Default Exactly!

The newer versions, I think it came in somewhere in version 3.x, of Mazingo allow you to create custom channels. As soon as I saw this posted on the main page, I created a custom channel. Mazingo is my main offline browser program now!

Sure. I just thought he meant a pre-formatted channel.
