OK, start posting the funny ones!

From: online Folly
Customer: "I'm having problems connecting to the Internet through the University. I've just moved, and I'm not sure if the cables are connected properly."
Tech Support: "Well, how are the cables connected now?"
Customer: "Oh, wait, this cord needs to be--" (click)
Five minutes later, she called back.


Tech Support: "We seemed to have been disconnected."
Customer: "Right, I was moving these phone cords--" (click)
Five minutes later, she called back.


Tech Support: "Are you using a phone plugged into your modem?"
Customer: "Yes, I don't have my other one hooked up yet--" (click)

Customer: "I need help with this dialer. The police have already shown up to my office twice today."
Police? Ok, whatever.


Tech Support: "Ok, let's check out the settings. Do you have anything entered for getting an outside line?"
Customer: "A nine."
Tech Support: "Do you need to dial a 9 for an outside line?"
Customer: "I'm not sure. I think so."
Tech Support: "Could you double check?"
Customer: "Sure. (pause) Nope. Turns out we don't need it."
Tech Support: "Ok. Then remove it. What do you have for the area code?"
Customer: "One and then [area code]."
Tech Support: "Uhm, you don't need the one. Windows 95 automatically adds that."
Customer: "Oh. So you mean..."
Tech Support: "Yes, your computer was dialing 911 and then the phone number."

This reminds me of something

Here's my tale.
My friend wanted more memmory for his PC maybe 3 years ago. He needed PC100 memmory, so we went ot a local shop looking for it.

Me: "Do you have any PC100 memmory?"
Store: "Yes."
Me: "How Much?"
Store: "$125" (I forget the price, but for the story, we'll use this)

This seemed over-priced and then I noticed they had PC133 memmory too (which was VERY new at the time).

Me: "how much is the PC133?
Store: "$100"

Thinking, WTF?!?!?

Me: "Why are you asking more for the PC100?"
Store: "Supply for PC100 is low and people need it. But there's no demand for the PC133."

Boy, anyone that knows anything knows that PC133 is pretty much just PC100 that can run at 133 MHz. And PC133 wroks at 100 MHz

Me: "Ohh.." (look of amazement on my face)

I felt that we shouldn't buy the memmoy there, because the sooner thatplace went out ofbusiness, the better for all mankind. We left short thereafter.

While shopping for a video card for my PC:

The salesperson told me that my monitor can only display 16 bit graphics and couldn't handle 32 bit graphics. I was sick of my 256 colors and wanted a better video card at the time.

I like this one....

Customer: "Hi, I was wondering if you could fix my laptop. It's under warranty."
Tech Support: "What seems to be the trouble with it?"
Customer: "My wife got mad and threw it in the pool."

the hardware abuse ones can be funny.

I imagine could spend an entire week declaring and initializing 16,384 local variables and some people would think I was busy at work.... :Q :D ;)
