Actual convo pedsdude had with a help line ;o> Operator:

[Neon]

> Operator: "Ridge Hall, computer assistance; may I help you?"
> Pedsdude: "Yes, well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect."
> Operator: "What sort of trouble??"
> Pedsdude: "Well, I was just typing along and all of a sudden the words went away."
> Operator: "Went away?"
> Pedsdude: "They disappeared."
> Operator: "Hmm So what does your screen look like now?"
> Pedsdude: "Nothing."
> Operator: "Nothing??"
> Pedsdude: "It's blank; it won't accept anything when I type."
> Operator: "Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out??"
> Pedsdude: "How do I tell?"
> Operator: "Can you see the C: prompt on the screen??"
> Pedsdude: "What's a sea-prompt?"
> Operator: "Never mind, can you move your cursor around the screen?"
> Pedsdude: "There isn't any cursor: I told you, it won't accept anything I type."
> Operator: "Does your monitor have a power indicator??"
> Pedsdude: "What's a monitor?"
> Operator: "It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV Does it have a little light that tells you when it's on??"
> Pedsdude: "I don't know."
> Operator: "Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into it. Can you see that??"
> Pedsdude: "Yes, I think so."
> Operator: "Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged into the wall.
> Pedsdude: "Yes, it is."
> Operator: "When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two cables plugged into the back of it, not just one??"
> Pedsdude: "No."
> Operator: "Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the other cable."
> Pedsdude: "Okay, here it is."
> Operator: "Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into the back of your computer."
> Pedsdude: "I can't reach."
> Operator: "Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is??"
> Pedsdude: "No."
> Operator: "Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way over??"
> Pedsdude: "Oh, it's not because I don't have the right angle it's because it's dark."
> Operator: "Dark??"
> Pedsdude: "Yes - the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming in from the window."
> Operator: "Well, turn on the office light then."
> Pedsdude: "I can't."
> Operator: "No? Why not??"
> Pedsdude: "Because there's a power failure."
> Operator: "A power......... A power failure? Aha, Okay, we've got it licked now. Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your Computer came in??"
> Pedsdude: "Well, yes, I keep them in the closet."
> Operator: "Good. Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just like it was when you got it. Then take it back to the store you bought it from."
> Pedsdude: "Really? Is it that bad?"
> Operator: "Yes, I'm afraid it is."
> Pedsdude: "Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them??"
> Operator: "Tell them you're too f*%king stupid to own a computer!!!!!"
