Support Report: |
Tech Support: Ok Bob, let's press the control and escape
keys at the same time. That brings up a task list in the middle
of the screen. Now type the letter 'P' to bring up the Program
Manager.
Customer: I don't have a 'P'.
Tech Support: On your keyboard, Bob.
Customer: What do you mean?
Tech Support: 'P' on your keyboard, Bob.
Customer: I'm not going to do that!
Caller: Hello, is this Tech Support?
Tech Support: Yes, it is. How may I help you?
Caller: The cup holder on my PC is broken and I am within
my warranty period. How do I go about getting that fixed?
Tech Support: I'm sorry, but did you say a cup holder?
Caller: Yes, it's attached to the front of my computer.
Tech Support: Please excuse me if I seem a bit stumped,
it's because I am. Did you receive this as part of a promotional,
at a trade show? How did you get this cup holder? Does it have
any trademark on it?
Caller: "It came with my computer, I don't know
anything about a promotional. It just has '4X' on it."
At this point the Tech Rep had to mute the caller, because he
couldn't stand it. The caller had been using the load drawer
of the CD-ROM drive as a cup holder, and snapped it off the
drive."
Tech Support: "All right... now double-click on
the File Manager icon."
Customer: "That's why I hate this Windows - because
of the icons. I'm a Protestant, and I don't believe in icons."
Tech Support: "Well, that's just an industry term
sir. I don't believe it was meant to --"
Customer: "I don't care about any 'Industry Terms'.
I don't believe in icons."
Tech Support: "Well why don't you click on the 'little
picture' of a file cabinet? Is 'little picture' ok?"
Customer: [click]
Customer: "My computer crashed!"
Tech Support: "It crashed?"
Customer: "Yeah, it won't let me play my game."
Tech Support: "All right, hit Control-Alt-Delete
to reboot."
Customer: "No, it didn't crash - it crashed."
Tech Support: "Huh?"
Customer: "I crashed my game. That's what I said
before. Now it doesn't work."
Turned out, the user was playing Lunar Lander and crashed
his spaceship.
Tech Support: "Click on 'File,' then 'New Game.'"
Customer: [pause] "Wow! How'd you learn how to
do that?"

I didn't have anybody, really, no foundation in life, so I had
to make my own way. Always, from the start. I had to go out
in the world and become strong, to discover my mission in life.
