Stupid Tech Support

Tuesday, March 24, 2009 23:28 1 Comment

By no means is tech support immune to exhibiting computer stupidity of their own.

* Customer: “Hi, I can’t seem to connect you guys are you having a problem?”
* Tech Support: “Well sir, what dialup software are you using?”
* Customer: “The one you provided.”
* Tech Support: “And what version is it?”
* Customer: (says the version number)
* Tech Support: “Oh, that’s the problem you need the latest version.”
* Customer: “Ok, how do I get it?”
* Tech Support: “Well, just transfer the file via FTP.”
* Customer: “Well that would be nice, but I can’t connect to the Internet.”
* Tech Support: (sounding exasperated) “I told you just to FTP the file sir.”
/******************************************/

I had trouble downloading an operating system upgrade for a PDA, so I called tech support.

* Me: “I can’t seem to get this download to complete. What might be causing it?”
* Tech Support: “What operating system are you running?”
* Me: “Windows NT.”
* Tech Support: “Well, you have to be running Windows 98 or better in order to download it.”
* Me: “Ummm, I am. I’m running Windows NT4, SP5.”
* Tech Support: “Are you on a PC or a MAC?”
/******************************************/

Back when high-speed internet was first getting started, my parents wanted to hop on the bandwagon right away and called a technician to come set them up. At the time I was in junior high school and couldn’t be there when the tech showed up.

It is important to note that although we were quick in getting high-speed Internet, we didn’t have a particularly state-of-the-art machine. It didn’t have a cdrom drive, for example, but I assumed the tech would be installing the software from a floppy.

Imagine my horror when I came home and found my mother trying to dig the CD out of our ancient 5 1/4″ drive with a key, while the “tech” stood behind her, scratching his head and saying, “I’ve seriously never seen one of those before. Are you SURE it’s not a cdrom drive?”
/******************************************/

I called up tech support because Internet Explorer insisted on opening everything I was trying to download with Quicktime.

* Customer: “Internet Explorer insists on opening everything I try to download with Quicktime.”
* Tech Support: “Ok.”
* Customer: “So whenever I click on anything that I want to download it tries to open it with Quicktime.”
* Tech Support: “Are you sure that its not a Quicktime file?”
* Customer: “No it’s an exe file.”
* Tech Support: “So it’s not a Quicktime file?”
* Customer: “No, and I can’t right click either, to do a Save Target As.”
* Tech Support: “Oh, but you’re sure it’s not a Quicktime file, right?”
* Customer: “Yes, it is an executable file, DOT E X E, not DOT M O V.”
* Tech Support: “Is it a .exe that can be opened in Quicktime?”

Is Windows a Virus???

Friday, March 14, 2008 6:57 3 Comments

No, Windows is not a virus. Here’s what viruses do:

1.They replicate quickly  okay, Windows does that.

2.Viruses use up valuable system resources, slowing down the system as they do so okay, Windows does that.

3.Viruses will, from time to time, trash your hard disk  okay, Windows does that too.

4.Viruses are usually carried, unknown to the user, along with valuable programs and systems. Sigh.. Windows does that, too.

5.Viruses will occasionally make the user suspect their system is too slow (see 2) and the user will buy new hardware. Yup, Windows does that, too.

Until now it seems Windows is a virus but there are fundamental differences:

Viruses are well supported by their authors, are running on most systems, their program code is fast, compact and efficient and they tend to become more sophisticated as they mature.

So Windows is not a virus. It’s a bug.
