Welcome to my old world. Computers have been in the workplace for over 25 years now, and you would think that they showed up last Christmas.

ROFL!!! Hard to believe that some people can get a drivers license and can't turn a computer on. Thanks for the early morning laughs. I needed that.

Pixie, I trust that these are actual calls that you have gotten & that's the real reason that you love your job.

First thing in the morning and my ribs hurt! Not to mention the the coffee through the nose trick! Thanks Steph

These are sooo funny.

I had the hardest time with a customer who was installing a program and was stuck at the point that the message on the screen said "Press Any Key to Continue". He said he had found the Enter key, the Shift key, the Tab key and named several others....but for the life of him he could not find an "Any" key on his computer!

LOL - my favorite is the one where the person is trying to get the computer powered up and the Tech asks them to check to see if the computer is plugged in....the person replies... the power's out I can't see it! DOH!!!!

well someone actually called in a little while ago and asked "is it true that people steal expensive electronics out of college dorm rooms" He said that he was getting ready to go to college and wanted to buy a stereo system...

I wanted really bad to tell him to get his mother on the phone and plead not to send him away...he does not have a clue!!! LOL

my pets think i have really lost it...this is too funny!
