This will make you feel better about your skills:

This ought to make you feel better about your computer skills! If you skip any, you have to read the last one! Unbelievable, but supposedly all true!!!!

 

 

=================================

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tech support: What kind of computer do you have?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Female customer: A white one...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

===============

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Customer: Hi, this is Celine. I can't get my diskette out.

Tech support: Have you tried pushing the Button?

Customer: Yes, sure, it's really stuck.

Tech support: That doesn't sound good; I'll make a note.

Customer: No, wait a minute... I hadn't inserted it yet... it's still on my desk.. sorry....

 

 

===============

 

 

Tech support: Click on the 'my computer' icon on to the left of the screen.

Customer: Your left or my left?

 

 

===============

 

 

Tech support: Good day. How may I help you?

Male customer: Hello... I can't print.

Tech support: Would you click on "start" for me and...

Customer: Listen pal; don't start getting technical on me! I'm not Bill Gates.

 

 

===============

 

 

Customer: Hi, good afternoon, this is Martha, I can't print. Every time I try, it says 'Can't find printer'. I've even lifted the printer and placed it in front of the monitor, but the computer still says he can't find it...

 

 

===============

 

 

Customer: I have problems printing in red...

Tech support: Do you have a color printer?

Customer: Aaaah....................thank you.

 

 

===============

 

 

Tech support: What's on your monitor now, ma'am?

Customer: A teddy bear my boyfriend bought for me at the 7-11.

 

 

===============

 

 

Customer: My keyboard is not working anymore.

Tech support: Are you sure it's plugged into the computer?

Customer: No. I can't get behind the computer.

Tech support: Pick up your keyboard and walk 10 paces back

Customer:! OK

Tech support: Did the keyboard come with you?

Customer: Yes

Tech support: That means the keyboard is not plugged in. Is there another keyboard?

Customer: Yes, there's another one here. Ah...that one does work..

 

 

===============

 

 

Tech support: Your password is the small letter "a" as in apple, a capital letter V as in Victor, the number 7.

Customer: Is that 7 in capital letters?

 

 

== =============

 

 

Customer: can't get on the Internet.

Tech support: Are you sure you used the right password?

Customer: Yes, I'm sure. I saw my colleague do it.

Tech support: Can you tell me what the password was?

Customer: Five stars.

 

 

===============

 

 

Tech support: What anti-virus program do you use?

Customer: Netscape.

Tech support: That's not an anti-virus program.

Customer: Oh, sorry...Internet Explorer.

 

 

===============

 

 

Customer: I have a huge problem. A friend has placed a screen saver on my computer, but every time I move the mouse, it disappears.

 

 

===============

 

 

Tech support: How may I help you?

Customer: I'm writing my first e-mail.

Tech support: OK, and what seems to be the problem?

Customer: Well, I have the letter 'a' in the address, but how do I get the circle around it?

 

 

===============

 

 

A woman customer called the Canon help desk with a problem with her printer.

Tech support: Are you running it under windows?

Customer: "No, my desk is next to the door, but that is a good point. The man sitting in the cubicle next to me is under a window, and his printer is working fine."

 

 

===============

 

 

And last but not least...

 

Tech 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!

this is my all time favourite:

 

* Tech Support: "Welch Hall computer assistant; may I help you?"

* Customer: "Yes, well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect."

* Tech Support: "What sort of trouble?"

* Customer: "Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away."

* Tech Support: "Went away?"

* Customer: "They disappeared."

* Tech Support: "Hmm. So what does your screen look like now?"

* Customer: "Nothing."

* Tech Support: "Nothing?"

* Customer: "It's blank; it won't accept anything when I type."

* Tech Support: "Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out?"

* Customer: "How do I tell?"

* Tech Support: "Can you see the C:\> prompt on the screen?"

* Customer: "What's a sea-prompt?"

* Tech Support: "Never mind. Can you move the cursor around on the screen?"

* Customer: "There isn't any cursor; I told you, it won't accept anything I type."

* Tech Support: "Does your monitor have a power indicator?"

* Customer: "What's a monitor?"

* Tech Support: "It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV. Does it have a little light that tells you when it's on?"

* Customer: "I don't know."

* Tech Support: "Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into it. Can you see that?"

 

(Rustling and jostling heard in the background.)

 

* Customer: [muffled] "Yes, I think so."

* Tech Support: "Great! Follow the cord to the plug and tell me if it's plugged into the wall."

* Customer: "Yes, it is."

* Tech Support: "When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two cables plugged into the back of it, not just one?"

* Customer: "No."

* Tech Support: "Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the other cable."

 

(Rustle, rustle.)

 

* Customer: [muffled] "Ok, here it is."

* Tech Support: "Follow it for me and tell me if it's plugged securely into the back of your computer."

* Customer: [still muffled] "I can't reach."

* Tech Support: "Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is?"

* Customer: "No."

* Tech Support: "Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way over?"

* Customer: "Oh, it's not because I don't have the right angle -- it's because it's dark in here."

* Tech Support: "Dark?"

* Customer: "Yes -- the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming in from the window."

* Tech Support: "Well, turn on the office light then."

* Customer: "I can't."

* Tech Support: "No? Why not?"

* Customer: "Because there's a power outage."

* Tech Support: "A p-!" [AARGH!]
