    Agent:

    Ma'am, I can't help noticing that every time I give you an instruction, it takes a really long time before you get back to me. Is your computer that slow?

    Caller:

    Oh, no, it's just the stupid, stupid design of this computer. Every time I want to click something, I have to unplug the keyboard to plug in the mouse. And then every time I want to use the keyboard again, I have to unplug the mouse. Because there's only one jack.

    Agent:

    Ma'am, you do realize that there's a jack on the keyboard itself? You're supposed to plug the mouse into the keyboard, and the keyboard into the computer.

    Caller:

    Are YOU KIDDING ME!? Oh, wait a minute--yes, I see it now! Oh, holy cow. That's going to be so much easier!

    Agent:

    Just out of curiosity, how long have you been using your computer that way?

    Caller:

    Six weeks!

    Funny you should say that

    A Lady came into our forum (over 50's) and said "A man said that you can get my computer working" " We will try" I said, " What is wrong with it" "My Son said the motherboard does not work" " How old is it?" "Brand new he built it himself" she replied. " OK, has he had it working? " "Yes she replied" " If you leave it with us we will have a look at it, I said "
    When we opened up the case. No DVD/ CD. No Floppy Disc. NO RAM. Hard drive floating. A big powerful fan with flashing lights that sounded like a jet engine warming up.
    Now that is some special computer. Spanner.

    Some Times It Goes The Other Way

    I moved from DSL to high speed cable.

    Shortly after the installation I had a problem down loading certain web pages.

    I called help line and the tech went through all kinds of test and declared that it Symantec was blocking the pages and suggested that I turn off my firewall.

    Not wanting to commit suicide I noticed that he never did ask which browser I was using.

    I also noticed that one of my FireFox extensions NoScript had just been updated.

    I turn off NoScript and everything went fine.
