I think just getting his PGP working would be a challenge. I've never heard of it "not working sometimes," it's a pretty simple process. I decrypted the message I sent to him with my password and it worked fine. I definitely selected his name when encrypting it. I don't know what else to do. What could be going wrong? When in doubt, blame it on Windows? :-)Heh.In this case we get to blame it on IGolder and BCPG. This is what led to that thing I sent you yesterday.Quote from: Guru on July 16, 2012, 09:00 pmBoth Louis and I are willing to help this guy get himself straightened out. Yep and I've already been in touch with the vendor. The plan is to get him to a proper installation and then I'll use that process to determine how best to educate those people (especially vendors) who struggle with the concepts.Quote from: Guru on July 16, 2012, 09:00 pmThat said, some people are just so hopelessly inept with computers that nothing can save themUnfortunately most of them get themselves elected to public office and set policies on IT and communications. ;)Quote from: Guru on July 16, 2012, 09:00 pmperhaps the vendor is one of these.I don't think he's that bad. He's just completely inexperienced with it and doesn't know where or how to start. He was very open to my contacting him and thankful for the offer. That's a very promising sign because it means he will be open to learning what he needs to learn and really that's always the biggest hurdle.Quote from: Guru on July 16, 2012, 09:00 pmFrankly, Silk Road is NO place for the computer illiterate. Agreed and the more so for vendors.
