Shake and bake

INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
This pilot fish gets assigned to accounting just as client/server is coming in, and he finds that teaching desktop computing to a lot of
gray-hairs requires plenty of patience — and the occasional practical joke.One day, one of the most senior accountants calls fish over and
complains that one of the in-house-designed accounting apps isn&t working on her PC
Fish asks her to step through the process of using the program, all the while uttering soothing assurances that she can&t break anything,
and all problems can be fixed.All goes well until the monitor seems to freeze, which fish knows is just what happens when the program is
conducting database queries
But the freeze-up soon challenges the user patience
&See?& she declaims
&I told you this dumb thing was broken
It not doing anything!&
