My laptop and desktop both just froze up for no apparent reason. I swore at the computers and did the whole "ahhhhh I've got unsaved work!!!!" thing.

So 2 of the guys near me immediately came to my rescue, logged into my profile remotely, found the problem, and restarted stuff and fixed it without me losing my work.

I hate ours, I called them on a problem this morning and walked him how to fix it just because I don't have admin rights on the computer and can't do it myself

The can't even make a rule in outlook by themselves!

It was a Firefox thing - Firefox crashed
Once they remotely restarted Firefox, both the desktop and laptop came back to life

That's annoying! These guys aren't helpdesk, but very very smart computer engineers, so this is easy for them
