How to Please Your I. T. Department
01. When you call us to have your computer moved, be sure to leave it buried under half a ton of postcards, baby pictures, stuffed animals, dried flowers, bowling trophies and children's art. We don't have a life, and we find it deeply moving to catch a fleeting glimpse of yours.
02. Don't write anything down. Ever. We can play back the error messages from here.
03. When an I. T. person says he's coming right over, go for coffee. That way you won't be there when we need your password. It's nothing for us to remember 700 screen saver passwords.
04. When you call the help desk, state what you want, not what's keeping you from getting it. We don't need to know that you can't get into your mail because your computer won't power on at all.
05. When I. T. support sends you an E-Mail with high importance, delete it at once. We're just testing.
06. When an I. T. person is eating lunch at his desk, walk right in and spill your more...
Dear Tech Support: Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend5. 0 to Husband1. 0 and noticed that the new program began making unexpected changes to the accounting modules, limiting access to flower and jewellery applications that had operated flawlessly under Boyfriend5. 0. In addition, Husband1. 0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as Romance9. 9 but installed undesirable programs such as NFL5. 0 and NBA3. 0. Conversation8. 0 no longer runs and HouseCleaning2. 6 simply crashes the system. I've tried running Nagging5. 3 to fix these problems, but to no avail. - -Desperate***Dear Desperate, Keep in mind, Boyfriend5. 0 is an entertainment package, while Husband1. 0 is an operating system. Try to enter the command: C:/ I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME and install Tears6. 2. Husband1. 0 should then automatically run the applications: Guilty3. 0 and Flowers7. 0. But remember, overuse can cause Husband1. 0 to default to GrumpySilence2. 5, Happyhour7. 0 or Beer6. 1. Beer6. 1 is a very bad more...
Patron: Waiter!
Waiter: Hi, my name is Bill, and I'll be your Support waiter.
Waiter. What seems to be the problem?
Patron: There's a fly in my soup!
Waiter: Try again, maybe the fly won't be there this time.
Patron: No, it's still there.
Waiter: Maybe it's the way you're using the soup. Try eating it with a fork instead.
Patron: Even when I use the fork, the fly is still there.
Waiter: Maybe the soup is incompatible with the bowl. What kind of bowl are you using?
Patron: A SOUP bowl!
Waiter: Hmmm, that should work. Maybe it's a configuration problem.
How was the bowl set up?
Patron: You brought it to me on a saucer. What has that to do with the fly in my soup?!
Waiter: Can you remember everything you did before you noticed the fly in your soup?
Patron: I sat down and ordered the Soup of the Day!
Waiter: Have you considered upgrading to the latest Soup of the Day?
Patron: You more...
This call was actually recorded during a session with AOL Tech Support Tech:
Internet Technical Support this is [removed] 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 remembers the Netscape history list and grins to himself)
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 more...
Following is the dialog of what was 'apparently' an actual phone conversation between a WordPerfect user and a former WordPerfect Customer Support employee:
"Hello. May I help you?"
"Yes, well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect."
"What sort of trouble?"
"Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away."
"Went away?"
"Yes. They disappeared."
"Hmmmm. What does your screen look like now?"
"Nothing."
"Nothing?"
"It's blank; it won't accept anything when I type."
"Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out?"
"How can I tell?"
"Can you see the C: prompt on the screen?"
"What's a C-prompt?"
"Never mind. Can you move the cursor around on the screen?"
"There isn't any cursor: I told you, it won't accept anything I type."
"Does your more...
Last year I upgraded Girlfriend 1. 0 to Wife 1. 0 and noticed that the new program began unexpected child processing that took up a lot of space and valuable resources. No mention of this phenomenon was included in the product brochure.
In addition, Wife 1. 0 installs itself into all other programs and launches during system initialization where it monitors all other system activity.
Applications such as Pokernight 10. 3 and Beerbash 2. 5 no longer run, crashing the system whenever selected. I cannot seem to purge Wife 1. 0 from my system.
I am thinking about going back to Girlfriend 1. 0 but un-install does not work on this program. Can you help me?
- Mr I N Distress
Dear I N Distress,
This is a very common problem men complain about but is mostly due to a primary misconception.
Many people upgrade from Girlfriend 1. 0 to Wife 1. 0 with the idea that Wife 1. 0 is merely a “UTILITIES & ENTERTAINMENT” program. Wife 1. 0 is an OPERATING SYSTEM and more...
