Go to rinkworks.com and check out the techsupport stuff, it has morons calling in with stuff like, "I'm trying to go on the internet and it says "Can't find modem", I turned the computer to face the modem and it still can't find it!"

"I was working on with my friends late into the afternoon when the phone rang. It was a friend of mine. Her computer froze, and she was calling for help.
Friend: "The machine just stopped responding. What should I do?"
Me: "Try resetting the computer. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del."
Friend: "What? What are you talking about?"
Me: "You know, the keys. Press them down simultaneously."
Friend: "Where are they?"
Me: "They are on the keyboard. Look around."
Friend: "I can't find them. What should I do?"
Me: "Ok, just press down the reset button. It is usually located near the power switch."
Friend: "Power switch? I don't know where that is."
Me: "How did you get the computer on?"
Friend: "It was on when I got home."
Me: (frustrated) "I see. Well, just pull the plug from the socket and put it back in."
Friend: "Which plug?"
Me: "The power cord. Unplug it."
Friend: "Which one is it?"
Me: (beaten) "Just leave it alone. I'll stop by after work."
thanks for the link OYO! this is just waayy too familiar!

Hehe, that one was pretty good, but there are way better ones on there. People shooting their computer with shotguns because they don't work , and then getting pissed at the guys for not being able to fix it. There's also outdated quotes, like an IBM chairman saying in like the 40's, "I think there is a world market for maybe, five computers". Or "The airplane has absolutely no military value"
