Technical Support Idiots!

Not sure if you people haven't seen this before, but it's pretty funny just in case you haven't.

Technical Support Idiots!

I could read those all day.

My favorite of all time:

Woman buys new computer.

Woman hooks everything up per instructions.

Computer won't power up.

Woman has plugged the power strip into itself.

The sad thing is, how often these things really happen.

I've had my own share of things like these with the cable co.
I automatically tell them to shoot me up to level2 support right off
the bat now.

When I was on dial-up I gave up using the software provided by my ISP because it was always screwing up and causing conflicts with my other software. If I had a problem that resulted in a reinstall it wanted me to re-register but the ISP server wouldn't let me do so... so I connected using their free-phone number, my user name and password instead - result - no further problems.

The cable's much more reliable and I've had no problems with it as all I need to do to reconnect after a format is to reinstall the drivers.

The worst thing about tech support is actually getting through to a technician, especially at weekends. Once connected though they've always been great and gone out of their way to help even when the problem has not technically been within their brief(eg. problem with my computer rather than the software or ISP).


Hey, you should go to the homepage and read some more computer related foul-ups, they should provide me with hours of fun!

When I had dialup all I needed was a user name, password, and number to dial. No software.
