Compaq Computers may change the command which reads "Press Any Key" to
"Press Return Key" because of the flood of calls asking where the "Any" key
is.
AST technical support had a caller complain that her mouse was hard to
control with the dust cover on. Turned out, the "dust cover" was the
plastic bag the mouse came in.
A man called a Compaq technician complaining that the system wouldn't read
word processing files from his old 5" diskettes. After trouble-shooting for
magnets and heat failed to diagnose the problem, it was found that the
customer had labeled the diskettes and then rolled them into the typewriter
to type the labels.
Another AST customer was asked to send a copy of her defective diskettes. A
few days later, a letter arrived from the customer along with Xeroxed
copies of the floppies.
A Dell technician advised his customer to put his troubled floppy back in
the drive and close the door. The customer asked the tech to hold on and
was heard putting the phone down and crossing the room to close the door to
his office.
Another Dell customer called to say he couldn't get his computer to fax
anything. After 40 minutes of trouble-shooting, the technician discovered
the man was trying to fax a piece of paper by holding it in front of the
monitor screen and hitting the "Send" key.
Yet another Dell customer needed help setting up a new program, so a Dell
tech suggested he go to the local Egghead. "Yeah, I got me a couple of
friends," the customer replied. When told Egghead was a software store, the
man said, "Oh, I thought you meant for me to find a couple of geeks."
A Dell technician received a call from a customer who was enraged because
his computer had told him he was "bad and invalid." The tech explained he
shouldn't take the responses personally.
An exasperated caller to Dell couldn't get her new Dell Computer to turn
on. The tech asked if she had plugged it in. She had. The tech asked her
what happened when she pushed the power button. Her response was, "I pushed
and pushed on this foot pedal and nothing happens." The "foot pedal" turned
out to be the computer's mouse.
This story comes from Novell: 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 a promotional. I just has "4X" on it. At this point, the tech had to
mute the caller because he couldn't stand it. The caller had been using the
load drawer of the CD-ROM drive as a cup holder and had snapped it off the
drive!
BITCHOLOGY
When I stand up for myself and my beliefs, they call me a bitch.
When I stand up for those I love, they call me a bitch.
When I speak my mind, think my own thoughts or do things my own way,
they call me a bitch.
Being a bitch means I won't compromise what's in my heart. It
means I live my life MY way. It means I won't allow anyone to step on
me.
When I refuse to tolerate injustice and speak against it, I am
defined as a bitch.
The same thing happens when I take time for myself instead of being
everyone's maid, or when I act a little selfish.
It means I have the courage and strength to allow myself to be who I
truly am and won't become anyone else's idea of what they think I
"should" be.
So try to stomp on me, try to douse my inner flame, try to squash every
ounce of beauty I hold within me. You won't succeed.
And if that makes me a bitch, so be it. I embrace the title and am
proud to bear it.
