WyzGuys Tech Talk

These were emailed to me by a friend, but sound oh so familiar.  If you work in computer support long enough, you get a nice collection just like these.

• Tech  support:  What kind of computer do you have?
• Customer:    A  white one…
• Tech  support:    Click  on the ‘my computer’ icon on to the left of the screen.
• Customer:    Your left or my left?

****************************

Customer:    Hi, good afternoon, this is Martha, I can’t print. Every time I try, it says ‘Can’t find  printer’.  I’ve even lifted the printer and placed it in front of the monitor, but the computer still says he can’t find it.

****************************

• Tech  support:    What’s on your monitor now, ma’am?
• Customer:    A teddy bear my boyfriend bought for me at the 7-11.

****************************

• Customer:   My keyboard  is not working anymore.
• Tech  support:   Are you sure it’s plugged into the computer?
• Customer:   No. I can’t  get behind the computer.
• Tech  support:    Pick up your keyboard and walk 10 paces back.
• Customer: !  OK
• Tech support:   Did the  keyboard come with you?
• Customer:  Yes
• Tech support:   That means the keyboard  is not plugged in.

****************************

• Customer:   I can’t get on the Internet.
• Tech support: Are you sure you used the right password?
• Customer:   Yes, I’m sure. I saw my colleague do it.
• Tech  support:    Can you tell me what the password was?
• Customer:   Five dots.

****************************

• Tech  support:    What  anti-virus program do you use?
• Customer:   Netscape.
• Tech support:   That’s not an anti-virus program.
• Customer:   Oh, sorry… Internet Explorer.

****************************

Customer:     I have a huge problem. A friend has placed a screen saver on my computer, but every time I move the mouse, it disappears.

****************************

• Tech support:    How may I help you?
• Customer:   I’m writing my first email.
• Tech support:    OK, and what seems to be the problem?
• Customer:   Well, I have the letter ‘a’ in the address, but how do I get the little circle around it?
• ****************************
  A woman customer called the Canon help desk with a problem with her printer.
• Tech support:   Are you running it under windows?
• Customer:   ‘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.’

****************************

• Tech  support: ‘Okay 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!
