The Best of the Lot | |
Case 14 | |
A plain computer illiterate guy rings tech support to report that his computer is faulty. | |
Tech: What's the problem? | |
User: There is smoke coming out of the power supply. | |
Tech:(keeps quite for moment) | |
Tech: You'll need a new power supply. | |
User: No, I don't! I just need to change the startup files. | |
Tech: Sir, the power supply is faulty. You'll need to replace it. | |
User: No way! Someone told me that I just needed to change the startup and it will fix the problem! All I need is for you to tell me the command. | |
Tech support: 10 minutes later, the User is still adamant that he is right. The tech is frustrated and fed up. | |
Tech support:(hush hush) | |
Tech: Sorry, Sir. We don't normally tell our customers this, but there is an undocumented DOS command that will fix the problem. | |
User: I knew it! | |
Tech: Just add the line LOAD NOSMOKE.COM at the end of the CONFIG.SYS. Let me know how it goes. | |
10 minutes later. | |
User: It didn't work. The power supply is still smoking. | |
Tech: Well, what version of DOS are you using? | |
User: MS-DOS 6.22. | |
Tech: That's your problem there. That version of DOS didn't come with NOSMOKE. Contact Microsoft and ask them for a patch that will give you the file. Let me know how it goes. | |
1 hour later. | |
User: I need a new power supply. | |
Tech support: How did you come to that conclusion? | |
Tech support: (hush hush) | |
User: Well, I rang Microsoft and told him about what you said, and he started asking questions about the make of power supply. | |
Tech: Then what did he say? | |
User: He told me that my power supply isn't compatible with NOSMOKE. | |
Height of All (Too Good) | |
Case 15 | |
Customer care officer: I need a product identification number right now and may I help you in finding it out? | |
Customer: Sure | |
Customer Care Officer: Can you left click on start and do you find 'My Computer'? | |
Customer: I did left click but how the hell do I find your computer? | |
