I had a friend who gave me a Mitsubishi monitor. The monitor was not getting a picture for some reason, so it obviously needed some servicing. I took it to a repairman to see what could be done.
* Technician : You mean you get no picture at all when you boot up your computer? * Me: Right. * Technician : Oh, that is because you have a small hard drive. You have to get a bigger hard drive and then the monitor will work fine. Full text for more. |

* Customer: "When my computer boots up, all I get is a black screen that says, 'boot2/'."
* Tech Support: "What operating system are you using?"
* Customer: "I'm using Windows 98 and NT 4.0."
* Tech Support: "Ok, I'm the Mac tech. The Windows tech is gone, but I can try to help you."
* Customer: "Ok, what should I do? I've reformatted the hard drive and have fresh installs of both
operating systems."
* Tech Support: "Sir, have you put any cheese or mustard in your a drive?"
* Customer: "What? Did you just ask me if I put cheese or mustard in my floppy drive?"
* Tech Support: "Yeah, we've had that happen a lot lately."
* Customer: (staring blankly at roommate, who was laughing uncontrollably on the floor) "I think I'll wait
for the PC tech to get back. Thanks for the help." (click)

I had just bought a new laser printer in the US when I received a very good job offer for the summer in Europe. So I called the printer manufacturer's help desk to find out if I could use the printer in Europe with 220 volts, or if they had a low cost transformer.
* Me: "Hello, I have just bought your new (printer model), and I was wondering if I can use it in Europe
with 220 volts?"
* Tech Support: "Hmmm...let me see.... Here, ok, it says that the printer works with 120 volts, so 220
volts should be enough."
* Me: "What?! If it is made only for 120 volts, and I hook it up to 220 volts, it's going to fry."
* Tech Support: "Hmmm. You may need a surge protector."
