There's always someone worse off
When it comes to computers, I'm often embarrassed by my ignorance and I very much appreciate the patience and willingness to help of those on this forum.
So, when I found the following on my homepage this morning and it made me feel considerably better. The following are a number of transcribed conversations to technical support 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. =============== Customer: I 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: 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." =============== .. Tech support: "Okay Mickey, 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, Colin. Customer: What do you mean? Tech support: "P".....on your keyboard, Colin. Customer: I'M NOT GOING TO DO THAT!! |

"Change user and press any key"...
...usually gets them off the phone! :E SD |
But I don't have an ANY key. :E

I see these are new ones. I particularly liked the colour printer one.
|
So, who was it who didn't/wouldn't have a P - Mickey or Colin?
I think we should be told. |
Good grief Green Granite….took a quick look at that site. Next time I have six months to spare, I’ll try to make a serious dent in it. What’s available on the Internet never ceases to amaze me. :)
