    Tech support: What kind of computer do you have?
    Customer: A white one...


    Customer: Hi, this is Celine . I can’t get my diskette out.
    Tech support: Have you tried pushing the Button?
    Customer: Yes, sure, it’s really stuck.
    Tech support: That doesn’t sound good; I’ll make a note.
    Customer: No , wait a minute. I hadn’t inserted it yet... it’s still on my desk... sorry...

    Tech support: Click on the ’my computer’ icon on the left of the screen.
    Customer: Your left or my left?


    Tech support: Good day.. How may I help you?
    Male customer: Hello.... I can’t print.
    Tech support: Would you click on ’start’ for me and....
    Customer: Listen pal; don’t start getting technical on me! I’m not Bill Gates.

    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.

    Customer: I have problems printing in red..
    Tech support: Do you have a color printer?
    Customer: Aaaah.......................thank you.

    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. Is there another keyboard?
    Customer: Yes, there’s another one here. Ah… that one does work.

    Tech support: Your password is the small letter ’a’ as in apple, a capital letter V as in Victor, the number 7.
    Customer: Is that 7 in capital letters ?

    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.’

    And last but not least...

    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!

      ____

      Customer: My computer says it preformed an illegal error... What do I do!?
      Tech on Phone: You just click the Close button.

      Tech in Background: You RUN before the police catch up to you! (and hysteric laughing)
      (The tech on phone managed not to laugh until hanging up...)

      ____

      Customer: I’ve had this computer for three days... It worked great the first day after you set it up, but now it’s not working!
      Tech: Is the computer turned on?
      Customer: No, I turned it off after you set it up and it hasn’t worked after that point.

      ____

      Customer: I can’t send faxes with my computer
      Tech: Tell me what your doing.
      Customer: I hold the sheet up to the screen and tell it to fax...

      ____


      Customer: My computer keeps telling me to empty the trash, but I already took it out what gives!

      ____

      Reserved for more stories as I recall them...
      ____

      And to think computers are here to make our life easier...

            User: My computer’s not working at all.

            Tech: What kind it is?

            User: It’s hard to read the logo, it got really dark in here when the power went out.

            ***********************
            (and one from the dark ages)

            User: The computer can’t read my floppy disk.

            Tech: Is the disk damaged?

            User: No, I always keep it on the file cabinet next to my desk so it won’t get hurt.

            Tech: On top of the file cabinet?

            User: No, I attach it to the front with a big refrigerator magnet.

                What about this one..

                * Tech Support: "Ok, ma’am, I need you to do a ctrl-alt-del."
                * Customer: "How do I do that?"
                * Tech Support: "Push and hold ’ctrl’ and ’alt’ at the same time, and then hit ’delete’."
                * Customer: "Where are those?"
                * Tech Support: (explains the location of the keys)
                * Customer: "Nothing happened."
                * Tech Support: "Try again."
                * Customer: "Still nothing."

                A minute or two later....

                * Customer: "Should I turn my computer? Would it help?
                * Tech Support: "Yeah, it might."
                  Lives by the quote, "On the keyboard of life, always keep one finger on the escape button."
