Funny Tech Stories

[SilverCrusader]

Have a funny tech story?
Post it here :)
I have one:
So this guy buys a new computer and ends up calling tech support saying the thing won't turn on.
So tech support spends alot of time trying to figure out what is wrong. Than the tech guy asks the man:
Tech Guy: Is it plugged in?
Man: No, the power went off a few hours ago.
Tech (serious): You have to pack it up and take it back to the store, this is really serious.
Man: Really? Whats wrong?
Tech: Yeah, the problem is that your too stupid to own a computer.

Real stories or can they be jokes?

Not funny so much as strange, but it's true.

Dude has a flashlight, spends like ten minutes trying(and failing) to get it to work. I ask to try, and the light turns on the instant it hits my hands.

I give it back, and it goes out again, this process repeats like four times before he swears and says I can keep it.

I still have the flashlight, and it still only works for certian people. Seeing who it works for has become a bit of a game among me and my friends (anyone coming over for the first time gets handed the light)

That is pretty strange.... wow...
And they have to be real, just because they're funny that way.

oh the stories i could tell you.

most recently, an older gentlemen whose computer we had done the initial setup for (installing programs, a printer, creating recovery software, etc) came in to have us install "The Norton Antivirus" version 3.0! I took it in just to humor him, but I also made scans of the box. It has screenshots of windows 3.1 on it. Minimum requirements are 512K of RAM!

oh. i should probably mention. his new computer was, of course, running vista.
