Tech Support Conversation of a former WordPerfect employee(Needless to say the employee was fired after this recording):

Operator:      'Ridge Hall, computer assistance; may I help you?'

Caller:            'Yes, well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect.'

Operator:      'What sort of trouble??'

Caller:            'Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words

                      went away.'

Operator:      'Went away?'

Caller:            'They disappeared'

Operator:      'Hmm. So what does your screen look like now?'

Caller:            'Nothing.'

Operator:      'Nothing??'

Caller:            'It's blank; it won't accept anything when I type.'

Operator:      'Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out?'

Caller:            'How do I tell?'

Operator:      'Can you see the 'C: prompt' on the screen?'

Caller:            'What's a sea-prompt?'

Operator:      'Never mind, can you move your cursor around the screen?'

Caller:            'There isn't any cursor; I told you, it won't accept anything I

                      type.'

Operator:      'Does your monitor have a power indicator??'

Caller:            '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?'

Caller:            '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??'

Caller:            'Yes, I think so.'

Operator:      'Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's

                      plugged into the wall.

Caller:            '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? '

Caller:            'No.'

Operator:      'Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and

                      find the other cable.'

Caller:          'Okay, here it is.'

Operator:      'Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into

                      the back of your computer..'

Caller:          'I can't reach.'

Operator:      'OK. Well, can you see if it is?'

Caller:          'No..'

Operator:      'Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean

                      way over?'

Caller:          'Well, it's not because I don't have the right angle -- it's

                      because it's dark.'

Operator:      'Dark?'

Caller:          '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.'

Caller:          'I can't.'

Operator:      'No? Why not?'

Caller:          '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 that your computer came in?'

Caller:          '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.'

Caller:          'Really? Is it that bad?'

Operator:    'Yes, I'm afraid it is.'

Caller:          'Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them?'

Operator:    'Tell them you're too stupid to own a computer!'
