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.

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 switch, she asked, “What power switch?”

Another IBM customer had troubles 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 I 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″ meant to remove
Disk 1 first.

In a similar incident, a customer had followed the instructions
for installing software. The instructions said to remove the disk
from its cover and insert into the drive. The user had physically
removed the casing of the disk and wondered why there were
problems.

True story from a Novell 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
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.

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 man sitting in the cubicle next to me is under a
window and his printer is working fine,”

Tech Support: “O.K. 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: “On your keyboard, Bob.”
Customer: “What do you mean?”
Tech: “‘P’ on your keyboard, Bob.”
Customer: “I’m not going to do that!”

If Operating Systems Were Airlines

DOS Air: Passengers walk out onto the runway, grab hold of the plane,
push it until it gets in the air, hop on, then jump off when it hits
the ground. They grab the plane again, push it back into the air, hop
on, jump off…

Mac Airways: The cashiers, flight attendants, and pilots all look the
same, talk the same, and act the same. When you ask them questions
about the flight, they reply that you don’t want to know, don’t need
to know, and would you please return to your seat and watch the movie.

Windows Airlines: The terminal is neat and clean, the attendants
courteous, the pilots capable. The fleet of Lear jets the carrier
operates is immense. Your jet takes off without a hitch, pushes above
the clouds and, at 20,000 feet, explodes without warning.

OS/2 Skyways: The terminal is almost empty - only a few prospective
passengers mill about. The announcer says that a flight has just
departed, although no planes appear to be on the runway. Airline
personnel apologize profusely to customers in hushed voices, pointing
from time to time to the sleek, powerful jets outside. They tell each
passenger how great the flight will be on these new jets and how much
safer it will be than Windows Airlines, but they will have to wait a
little longer for the technicians to finish the flight systems. Maybe
until mid-2005. Maybe longer

“My computer isn`t that nervous…it`s just a bit ANSI.
Terminal glare: A look that kills…
Life would be much easier if I had the source code
Computers are only human.
To iterate is human; to recurse, divine. ”

6) I will call someone on the phone who I cannot contact via the Internet.
7) I will read a book…if I still remember how.

9) I will not be tempted during TV commercials to check for email.
10) I will try and get out of the house at least once a week, if it is necessary or not.
