One of the first questions our customer support people are trained to ask is about the power...something along the lines of "Are the indicator lights on the (equipment)on?" or something along those lines. I'll guarantee you there are at least two a day who don't realize they've had a power outage.
During major storms the number of people who call to complain because "It just isn't working." who have no power increases dramatically, including people too stupid to own any device more complicated than a wheelbarrow or ball point pen.
"including people too stupid to own any device more complicated than a wheelbarrow or ball point pen."
There are more of those around everyday thanks to what's happening to publik educashen.
