We write banking software for mini-computers. Our Help Desk got a call from a customer who was new to mini-computer operations. The call went something like this:

* Customer: "There is smoke coming from the back of the computer. What should I do?"
* Tech Support: "Get out of the computer room and call the fire department."
* Customer: "Should I make a backup first?"
* Tech Support: "Get out of the computer room and call the fire department."
* Customer: "Shouldn't I at least run the shutdown procedure?"
* Tech Support: "Get out of the computer room and call the fire department."

Get out of the computer room and call the fire department.

A user called in to say her mouse was only moving left and right and not up and down. This was a common fault with that particular model of mouse, so I brought a replacement over, swapped it out, and she tried it out.

"Nope, same problem," she said, and showed me. For left and right movements, it worked fine, but when she moved the mouse up and down -- that is, physically off the desk and into the air -- it just didn't work at all.

True story. When Win95 came out and CD's were replacing the 5 1/4 disk's people didn't really know much about em. I went to this lady's house to set up her computer, showed her a few things and left.

She wanted to update something about a year later and I told her to put the CD that came with the hardware into the CD player on the computer and run the installation program. She had no idea that was what that was. She really thought it was a cup holder for her coffee.

LMAO!!! Not too long after that I started seeing a joke on the internet about people thinking that the CD drive was a cup holder. Cracked me up!

I'll make one up.

User on the phone: Help! My computer is not working!
Technican: Have you tried anything?
User: Oh, I've tried everything! I switched the wires, moved the computer to another room, looked inside the computer and tried to fix it, BUT IT WON'T WORK!
Technican: Ok, I'll come over and see what I can do.
User: Thank you sooo much!!!

*The technican comes over...*

Technican: Hello there! Let's see what I can do.
User: :-)

*Technican plugs the computer into the wall*

User: Oh thank you thank you thank you!!! You are a genius!
Technican: Yea, um, don't mention it.

Here's another one, true story. A person couldn't find a file on his computer, so he opened the computer and looked at the hard disk to find it!

Why programmers always mix up Christmas and Halloween? Because DEC 25=OCT 31.

(decimal/octal)
