    1). Tech Support: "I need you to right-click on the Open Desktop."

    Customer "Ok."

    Tech Support: "Did you get a pop-up menu?"

    Customer: "No."

    Tech Support: "Ok. Right click again. Do you see a pop-up menu?"

    Customer "No."

    Tech Support: "Ok, sir. Can you tell me what you have done up until
    this point?"

    Customer: "Sure, you told me to write 'click' and I wrote 'click'."




    2). A 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: You'll need a new power supply.

    User: No, I don't! I just need to change the start-up 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 start-up
    and it will fix the problem! All I need is for you to tell me the
    command.

    10 minutes later, the User is still adamant that he is right. The tech
    is frustrated and fed up.

    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 <http://nosmoke.com/&gt; 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: How did you come to that conclusion?

    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.




    3) Customer: "I received the software update you sent, but I am still
    getting the same error message."

    Tech Support: "Did you install the update?"

    Customer: "No. Oh, am I supposed to install it to get it to work?"




    4).Customer: "I'm having trouble installing Microsoft Word."

    Tech Support: "Tell me what you've done."

    Customer: "I typed 'A: \SETUP'."

    Tech Support: "Ma'am, remove the disk and tell me what it says."

    Customer: "It says '[PC manufacturer] Restore and Recovery disk'."

    Tech Support: "Insert the MS Word setup disk."

    Customer: "What?"

    Tech Support: "Did you buy MS word?"

    Customer: "No..."




    5).Customer: "Do I need a computer to use your software?"

    Tech Support::?!%#$




    6).Tech Support: "Ok, in the bottom left hand side of the screen,
    can you see the 'OK' button displayed?"

    Customer: "Wow. How can you see my screen from there?"




    7) Tech Support: "What type of computer do you have?"

    Customer: "A white one."




    8)... Tech Support: "Type 'A:' at the prompt."

    Customer: "How do you spell that?"




    9). Tech Support: "What's on your screen right now?"

    Customer: "A stuffed animal that my boyfriend got me at the grocery
    store."





    10). Tech Support: "What operating system are you running?"

    Customer: "Pentium."




    11). Customer: "My computer's telling me I performed an illegal
    abortion."




    12).Customer: "I have Microsoft Exploder."




    13).Customer: "How do I print my voicemail?"




    14). Customer: "You've got to fix my computer. I urgently need to
    print document, but the computer won't boot properly."

    Tech Support: "What does it say?"

    Customer: "Something about an error and non-system disk."

    Tech Support: "Look at your machine. Is there a floppy inside?"

    Customer: "No, but there's a sticker saying there's an Intel inside."




    15). Tech Support: "Just call us back if there's a problem. We're open
    24 hours."

    Customer: "Is that Eastern time?"




    16). Tech Support: "What does the screen say now?"

    Customer: "It says, 'Hit ENTER when ready'."

    Tech Support: "Well?"

    Customer: "How do I know when it's ready?"




    17) CCO: I need product identification no: right now
    and may I help you in finding it out?

    Cust: sure

    CCO: could you left click on start and did you find 'My Computer'?

    Cust: I did left click but how the hell do I find your computer?

    Going to forward these onto myself at work, as I can't read the black print against the black background: it hurts my eyes.
