This is off subject, but I recently spent hours

problem-solving glitches on the computer & I know I'm

not alone in being ignorant in computerese. This is

for us newbies.

jang

Take heart, anyone among you who believes you are

technologically challenged, you " ain't seen nuthin' "

yet. This is an excerpt from a Wall Street Journal

article:

1. Compaq is considering changing the command " Press

Any Key " to " Press Return Key " because of the flood of

calls asking where the " Any " key is.

2. AST technical support had a caller complaining that

her mouse was hard to control with the dust cover on.

The cover turned out to be the plastic bag the mouse

was packaged in.

3. 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.

4. Yet another Dell customer called to complain that

his keyboard no longer worked. He had cleaned it by

filling up his tub with soap and water and soaking the

keyboard for a day, then removing all the keys

and washing them individually.

5. A Dell technician received a call from a customer

who was enraged because his computer had told him he

was " bad and an invalid. " The tech explained that the

computer's " bad command " and " invalid " responses

shouldn't be taken personally.

6. A confused caller to IBM was having trouble

printing documents. He told the technician that the

computer had said it " couldn't find printer. " The user

had also tried turning the computer screen to face

the printer-but that his computer still couldn't " see "

the printer.

7. An exasperated caller to Dell Computer Tech Support

couldn't get her new Dell Computer to turn on. After

ensuring the computer was plugged in, the technician

asked her what happened when she pushed the power

button. Her response, " I pushed and pushed on this

foot pedal and nothing happens. " The " foot pedal "

turned out to be the computer's mouse.

8. Another customer called Compaq tech support to say

her brand new computer wouldn't work. She said she

unpacked the unit, plugged it in and sat there for 20

minutes waiting for something to happen. When

asked what happened when she pressed the power switch,

she asked, " What power switch? "

9. Another IBM customer had trouble installing

software and rang for support. " I put in the first

disk, and that was OK. It said to put in the second

disk, and had some problems with the disk. When it

said to

put in the third disk, I couldn't even fit it in... "

The user hadn't realized that " Insert Disk 2 " meant to

remove Disk first.

10. True story from a Novell NetWire SysOp: 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. It just has

'4X' on it. " At this point, the Tech Rep had to mute

the caller because he couldn't stand it. He was

laughing too hard. The caller had been

using the load drawer of the CD-ROM drive as a cup

holder and snapped it off the drive.

11. A woman called the Canon help desk with a problem

with her printer. The tech asked her if she was

running it under " Windows. " The woman responded, " No,

my desk is next to the door. But that is a good point.

The man sitting in the cubicle next to me is under a

window and his printer is working fine. "

12. Another true story:

TECH SUPPORT: " O.K. Bob, let's press the control and

escape keys at the same time. That brings up a task

list in the middle of the screen. Now type the letter

" P " to bring up the Program Manager. " CUSTOMER: " I

don't have a 'P' " . TECH SUPPORT: " On your keyboard,

Bob. "

CUSTOMER: " What do you mean? "

TECH SUPPORT: " 'P' on your keyboard, Bob. "

CUSTOMER: " I'm not going to do that! "

When we walk to the edge of all the light we have and

take the step into the darkness of the unknown, we

must believe that one of two things must happen: There

will be something solid for us to stand on, or we will

be taught to fly.
