        Seems many of you forget what it is like to be a newbie. If the kid is not interested, does not mater what you have him/her do. If they want to kind of kick the tires - let them ride along with you to observe, maybe clean/change a few PF or DF rollers. If they want more, stick them with pulling parts/inventory so they get an idea of where things are and what they go to. Kid still there - time to learn installation unboxing and setup.

        May just be me but it seems if you treat them like crap, that is what you will get - plus another person that thinks you are a jerk.

                Hit the junk room for a boat load of obsolete corona assemblies and have him string corona wires all day.

                    Color is not 4 times harder... it's 65,000 times harder. They call it "TECH MODE" for a reason. I have manual's and firmware for ya, course... you are going to have to earn it.

                        If you truly want to spook him away, make him replace a Konica 7020's feeding rollers and gears. THAT will do it.

                            See if he can work out why the mpc6000/7500 blows toner. And if he does, could ya let me know what it was, haha.
