When rednecks buy computer parts....

[jonnyGURU]

When I get an email in the support box that starts with:

"The PC was working fine last night, but this morning when I got back from hunting deer, it wouldn't boot."

I know it's going to be an interesting day. :Q

 

[prodigy]

Heh heh, guess that graphically intensive game "Deer Hunter" fried his comp.

Hey!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was me!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[jonnyGURU]

When someone asks me if they should upgrade their CPU so "Field & Stream Trophy Bass 3-D" loads faster, I know I might be talking to a redneck.

 

[jonnyGURU]

Rednecks tend to pronounce F.I.C. as "FICK" and spell out A.S.U.S. for some reason.

 

[Total Refected Power]

"I here you computer guys have sumpem that will make my hard drive to work go faster"

 

[Windogg]

Did you check for "stray holes"? Perhaps he didn't understand that you use the virtual guns in the game as opposed to your standard Winchester.

Did someone say red necks?

How about this one:

"I just bought the net from yous guys but I cant get into my three favourite programs now!"

That's it! That's all he sent!

(Support e-mail to the ISP I work for. We have lots of these (l)users.)

Had a redneck call me up wanting help putting his PC together.

Things got pretty deep and I reminded him that I was on the clock.

He told me I had to help him and that the last PC is in the back yard filled with BUCK SHOT!

 

[Poontos]

Oh,

And other time, this hick brings in his old 486 (without calling in advance, just drops in with his machine in hand) and say he thinks it needs a new "exhuast", cause it's making funny noises!

Oh dear...

Honest to God I got this email today:

"My new PC is not booting up.

I was drinking a beer while I was putting the PC together, but I'm sure that has nothing to do with my problem since I am very careful to not ever spill my beer."


SO HELP ME GOD, I GOT THAT TODAY!

 

[snow patrol]

heheh, that's a classic.

It must be hard being you jonny!

 

[lupin]

It will sell like hotcakes.

I was working on my computer with Bubba and we tried to duct tape the ram processors in. After the third case of beer it won't start boot up. I try to download windows offen the compactin disc thingy and it tells me that tha production code key is invalue. What do we needs to be doin to make this herea things to work 'gin?

 

[jonnyGURU]

Speaking of duct tape.....

Had a guy I had to call to tell him that the MOTHERBOARD that he had shipped in the RETAIL BOX (no outside shipping box) was completely CRUSHED.

He said "I can't understand how it got damaged like that. I used plenty of duct tape to tape it up!"





He did use a lot of duct tape, but despite the fact that it has the COLOR of metal, it needed to be explained to him that it just didn't have the same TENSILE STRENGTH as metal. :|

Please write a book on this, Jonny!

You might be a redneck if you thought the cd-rom tray was a drink holder.

You might be a redneck if you keep a boot on your desk to reboot the system.

You might be a redneck if you unplugged your system and buried it after getting a "fatal error".

You might be a redneck if you bought a mouse trap, for the mouse that came with your system.

You might be a redneck if you took the hard plastic cover off so that your 3 1/5 inch disk would really be a floppy.

You might be a redneck if you put a small digital clock ontop of your case because you wanted an overclocked system.

I had a customer once who bough entire computer just to play "Deer Hunter", since his wife wouldn't allow him go hunting anymore...

 

[Zedfu]

sounds like a voice of desperation. people these days.....

 

[AaronP]

you would be suprised by how many computer geeks deer hunt. It's a strange phenomenom.

<<You might be a redneck if you put a small digital clock ontop of your case because you wanted an overclocked system.>>

Uh,oh. I put one there. Didnt do it to get an overclocked system though. Am I a redneck?

 

[ArkAoss]

you might be a red neck if you paint your compter red to play big red racing
you might be a red neck if you think a p2 233 on satelite is faster than a p3 500 on cable
you might be a red neck if you think buying a compaq is better than building your own
you might be a red neck if you return your computer from smoke damage, and it wasn't in a fire!!
you might be a red neck if you are upset when you get a new cd rom drive that has a slot instead of another beer holder

Hello jonnyG


Maybe you can copy and paste all your rant post in one place.
It will be quite a riot!

I have a friend that works for Access Software (now a division of MS). They make the Links LS golf games. They have people call up all the time to find out what system they should buy so that the new version of Links will run perfectly.
