COMPUTER FUNNIES

 Topics: Computer, Jokes, Ignorance



A woman called the Cannon help desk with a problem with her printer. The tech asker her if she was "running it under Windows." The woman then responded, "NO, my desk is next to the door. But that's a good point... The man sitting in the cubicle next to me is under a window, and his is working just fine."


Tech Support: "OK Bob, let's press the control and escape keys at the same time. That brings up a task list in the middle of the screen. Now type the letter 'P' to bring up the Program Manager."
Customer: "I don't have a 'P'."

Tech Support: "On your keyboard, Bob."

Customer: "What do you mean?"

 Tech Support: "'P' on you keyboard, Bob."

 Customer: "I'm not going to do that!"



 Overheard in a computer shop:

 Customer: "I'd like a mouse mat, please."

 Salesperson: "Certainly sir, we've got a large variety."

 Customer: "But will they be compatible with my computer?"



I once received a fax with a note on the bottom to fax the document
back to the sender when I was finished with it, because he needed to
keep it.


Customer: "Can you copy the Internet for me onto this diskette?"


I work for a local ISP. Frequently we receive phone calls that go
something like this:

Customer: "Hi... Is this the Internet?"



Some people pay for their online services with check made payable to

"The Internet".



Customer: "So, that will get me connected to the Internet, right?"

Tech Support: "Yeah."

Customer: "And that's the latest version of the Internet, right?"

Tech Support: "Uhh... uh... uh...yeah."

Tech Support: "All right. Now double-click on the File Manager icon."

Customer: "That's why I hate this Windows - because of the icons.
I'm a Protestant, and I don't believe in icons."

Tech Support: "Well, that's just an industry term sir. I don't believe it was meant to..."

Customer: "I don't care about any 'Industry Terms.' I don't believe in icons."

Tech Support: "Well... why don't you click on the 'little picture' of a file cabinet..
is 'little picture' OK?"

Customer: [Click]

Customer: "My computer crashed!"

Tech Support: "It crashed?"

Customer: "Yeah, it won't let me play my game..."

Tech Support: "All right then, hit Control-Alt-Delete to reboot it."

Customer: "No, it didn't crash - it crashed!"

Tech Support: "Huh?"

Customer: "I crashed my game. That's what I said before! I crashed
the spaceship, and now it doesn't work."

Tech Support: "Click on 'File', then 'New Game'."

Customer: [pause] "Wow! How'd you learn how to do that?"
