A lady called in to Tech Support and said she couldn't get
on the Internet. The tech asked her if she was getting any
error messages when she tried to connect to the Internet.
The lady said she didn't know if she was or not because
the power was off in her house and she couldn't see the
error message.

Tech : Internet Technical Support this is so-and-so speaking.
May I have your username please?
Female Customer : Yes I want to speak to the person in charge
immediately!
Tech: Speaking. What can I do for you?
Female Customer : I want to complain about the pornographic bookmarks
your company put in my web browser!
Tech : We didn't put any pornographic bookmarks in your web browser.
Female Customer : Oh yes you did! I'm looking at them right now!
Tech : Where exactly are these "bookmarks" located?
Female Customer : In Netscape!
Tech : And where exactly in Netscape would that be?
Female : In that little list that comes down when you click the little
down arrow!
Tech : The one right above the Net Search button?
Female Customer : Yes that one!
Tech : Miss, that's the Netscape history list. Netscape keeps the past
ten links you typed in that box. The only way to put an address in that
box is for someone to physically sit at your computer and type in a
web address.
Female Customer: Well I certainly didn't type in those X rated web
addresses!
Tech: Well somebody did. Who has access to your computer and uses the
Internet?
Female Customer : Just me and my son!....................
oh!........ OOOH! ......Thank you.
She quickly hung up

Tech: You're getting that error message when you try to run
Netscape????
Customer: Yes.
Confused Tech: I've never heard of that error message in
Netscape......
Tech thinks about this for a minute
Tech: Let's back up and start from the beginning. Tell me everything
you are doing up to the point you get that error message.
Customer: Well first I turn on my computer and then it
says; "Missing operating system."

Unbelievable but True!
A woman called in to Tech Support and said she put the
cd for our software in her cd drive, and it was now stuck
in the drive and she could not get it out. Fortunately her
daughter came over during the call and it was determined
that the woman did not have a cd drive at all and she had
attempted to insert her cd in the 3.5" diskette drive. When
the cd would not fit the woman trimmed the cd down to size
with her scissors until it would fit in the 3.5" diskette drive.
(This IS a true story!)

A lady called in to Tech Support in tears. She had been on the
Internet and was attempting to download a program with Microsoft
Internet Explorer 3.0. Internet Explorer gave it's usual warning about
downloading programs off the internet that says; "Some programs may
contain viruses or may be otherwise harmful to your computer...", so
she made her children go outside, she locked the door, she
put all her icons in the "Recycle Bin" for Windows 95, turned off her
computer, and then called Tech Support because she was afraid her
family might catch a virus from her computer. It took the Tech
Support supervisor at least twenty minutes to calm her down and
explain.
