Take heart, anyone among you who believes you are technologically
> challenged, you "ain't seen nuthin'" yet. This is an excerpt
> from a Wall Street Journal article:
>
> 1. Compaq is considering changing the command "Press Any Key" to
> "Press Return Key" because of the flood of calls asking
> where the "Any" key is.
>
> 2. AST technical support had a caller complaining that her mouse
> was hard to control with the dust cover on. The cover turned
> out to be the plastic bag the mouse was packaged in.
>
> 3. Another Dell customer called to say he couldn't get his
> computer to fax anything. After 40 minutes of troubleshooting, the
> technician discovered the man was trying to fax a piece of paper
> by holding it in front of the monitor screen and hitting the
> "Send" key.
>
> 4. Yet another, Dell customer called to complain that his keyboard
> no longer wo rked. He had cleaned it by filling up his tub with
> soap and water and soaking the keyboard for a day, then removing
> all the keys and washing them individually.
>
> 5. A Dell technician received a call from a customer who was
> enraged because his computer had told him he was "Bad and an
> invalid." The tech explained that the computer's "bad command" and
> "invalid" responses shouldn't be taken personally.
>
> 6. A confused caller to IBM was having trouble printing documents.
> He told the technician that the computer had said it couldn't
> find the printer. The user had also tried turning the computer
> screen to face the printer, but that his computer still couldn't "see"
> the printer.
>
> 7. An exasperated caller to Dell Computer Tech Support couldn't
> get her new Dell Computer to turn on. After ensuring the
> computer was plugged in, the technician asked her what happened
> when she pushed the power button. Her response, "I pushed
> and pushed on this foot pedal and nothing happens." The "foot
> pedal" turned out to be the computer's mouse.
>
> 8. Another customer called Compaq tech support to say her brand
> new computer wouldn't work. She said she unpacked the
> unit, plugged it in and sat there for 20 minutes waiting for
> something to happen. When asked what happened when she pressed
> the power button, she asked, "What power button?"
>
> 9. Another IBM customer had trouble installing software and rang
> for support.. "I put in the first disk, and that was OK. It said to
> put in the second disk, and had some problems with the disk. When
> it said to put in the third disk, I couldn't even fit it in..." The
> user hadn't realized that "Insert Disk 2" implied to remove Disk 1
> first.
>
> 10. A story from a Novel NetWire SysOp:
> CALLER: "Hello, is this Tech Support?"
> TECH: "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 : "I'm sorry, but did you say a cup holder?"
> CALLER: "Yes, it's attached to the front of my computer."
> TECH: "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. He was laughing too hard. The caller had been
> using the load drawer of the CD-ROM drive as a cup holder and
> snapped it off the drive.
>
> 11. A woman called the Canon help desk with a problem with her
> printer. The tech asked her if she was "running it under
> windows." The woman responded, "No, my desk is next to the door.
> But that is a good point. The girl sitting in the cubicle next
> to me is under a window and her printer is working fine."
>
> 12. And last but not least:
> T ECH SUPPORT: "Okay 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."
