Real Computer Problems

January 31st, 2006

Here’s some REAL COMPUTER PROBLEMS COMPLAINTS HEARD BY VARIOUS
COMPUTER TECHNICIANS. This is an excerpt from a Wall Street Journal
article:

1. Compaq is considering changing the command “Press Any Key” to
“Press Return Key” because of the flood of calls asking where the
“Any” key is.

2. AST technical support had a caller complaining that her mouse was
hard to control with the dust cover on. The cover turned out to be the
plastic bag the mouse was packaged in.

3. Another Dell customer called to say he couldn’t get his computer to
fax anything. After 40 minutes of troubleshooting, the technician
discovered the man was trying to fax a piece of paper by holding it in
front of the monitor screen and hitting the “Send” key.

4. Yet another Dell customer called to complain that his keyboard no
longer worked. He had cleaned it by filling up his tub with soap and
water and soaking the keyboard for a day, then removing all the keys
and washing them individually.

5. A Dell technician received a call from a customer who was enraged
because his computer had told him he was “bad and an invalid.” The
tech explained that the computer’s “bad command” and “invalid”
responses shouldn’t be taken personally.

6. A confused caller to IBM was having trouble printing documents. He
told the technician that the computer had said it “couldn’t find
printer.” The user had also tried turning the computer screen to face
the printer-but that his computer still couldn’t “see” the printer.

7. An exasperated caller to Dell Computer Tech Support couldn’t get
her new Dell Computer to turn on. After ensuring the computer was
plugged in, the technician asked her what happened when she pushed the
power button. Her response, “I pushed and pushed on this foot pedal
and nothing happens.” The foot pedal” turned out to be the computer’s
mouse.

8. Another customer called Compaq tech support to say her brand new
computer wouldn’t work. She said she unpacked the unit, plugged it in
and sat there for 20 minutes waiting for something to happen. When
asked what happened when she pressed the power switch, she asked,
“What power switch?”

9. Another IBM customer had trouble installing software and rang for
support “I put in the first disk, and that was OK. It said to put in
the second disk, and had some problems with the disk. When it said to
put in the third disk, I couldn’t even fit it in…” The user hadn’t
realized that “Insert Disk 2 meant to remove Disk 1 first.

10. A woman called the Canon help desk with a problem with her
printer. The tech asked her if she was running it under “Windows.” The
woman responded, 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.

Haven’t seen this much snow since like December. Not even. Tomorrow it will be cooler too.. brrr.. :P

Anyways.. I am at work now.. doing some CSS research. I need to get my site to work on all browsers.. It will suck but it is doable.. ;) hopefully.. Other then that.. I have been low key lately. I don’t want to use msn anymore. Or chat much. I just been feeling down and I don’t want to talk to anyone that much. But anyone is free to email me and say hi to me. I promise to email back. I am up to that.
I want to listen to new songs. But the songs on mazikana.com are sucky lately. Or maybe just Arabic singers are sucky.. :roll: .. oh well..

I honestly don’t know.. my friend deep down inside him hates me. I know it. And I am sick of him. Really I am. He is no friend if he ignores me wa shayef 7alo 3alaya.. I am tired of it and I am moving on. He can’t even treat me as a good friend. He would treat every one else with respect except me! I hate it! !!
