As for the smary comments on there - Quote: Well, I had one event happen to me, where one lady had just bought a Apple IIc and complained that she was having problems with her monitor, so we told her to bring her monitor in, and we'd check it out. So she brings her monitor in, and we plug it in, and it works without a flaw. We tell her that the monitor isn't the problem, and to bring her CPU in. CPU??? !!!!!!	pctek (84)

The Windows tech is gone, but I can try to help you." * Customer: "Ok, what should I do? I've reformatted the hard drive and have fresh installs of both operating systems." * Tech Support: "Sir, have you put any cheese or mustard in your a drive?" * Customer: "What? Did you just ask me if I put cheese or mustard in my floppy drive?" * Tech Support: "Yeah, we've had that happen a lot lately." * Customer: (staring blankly at roommate, who was laughing uncontrollably on the floor) "I think I'll wait for the PC tech to get back. Thanks for the help." (click)	mejobloggs (264)

A few minutes into the class, she got up to leave the room. I reached between our computers and switched the inputs for the keyboards. She came back and started typing and immediately got a distressed look on her face. She called the teacher over and explained that no matter what she typed, nothing would happen. The teacher tried everything. By this time I was hiding behind my monitor and quaking red-faced. I started to type, "Leave me alone!" They both jumped back, silenced. "What the..." the teacher said. I typed, "I said leave me alone!" The kid got real upset. "I didn't do anything to it, I swear!" It was all I could do to keep from laughing out loud. The conversation between them and HAL 2000 went on for an amazing five minutes. * Me: "Don't touch me!" * Her: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hit your keys that hard." * Me: "Who do you think you are anyway?!" Etc. Finally, I couldn't contain myself any longer and fell out of my chair laughing. After they had realized what I had done, they both turned beet red. Funny, I never got more than a C- in that class. Classic :D	beeswax34 (63)
