    Customer: Hi, this is Celine. I can't get my diskette out.

    Tech support: Have you tried pushing the Button?

    Customer: Yes, sure, it's really stuck.

    Tech support: That doesn't sound good; I'll make a note.

    Customer: No, wait a minute... I hadn't inserted it yet... it's still on my desk... sorry...

    *****

    Tech support: Click on the 'my computer' icon on to the left of the screen.

    Customer: Your left or my left?

    Tech support: Good day. How may I help you?

    Male customer: Hello... I can't print.

    Customer: Listen pal; don't start getting technical on me! I'm not Bill Gates.

    *****

    Customer: Hi, good afternoon, this is Martha, I can't print. Every time I try, it says 'Can't find printer'. I've even lifted the printer and placed it in front of the monitor, but the computer still says he can't find it...

    *****

    Customer: I have problems printing in red...

    Tech support: Do you have a color printer?

    Customer: OK

    Tech support: Did the keyboard come with you?

    Customer: Yes

    Tech support: That means the keyboard is not plugged in. Is there another keyboard?

    But every time I move the mouse, it disappears.

    *****

    Tech support: How may I help you?

    Customer: I'm writing my first e-mail.

    Tech support: OK, and what seems to be the problem?

    Customer: Well, I have the letter 'a' in the address, but how do I get the circle around it?

    *****

    A woman customer called the Canon help desk with a problem with her printer.

    Tech support: Are you running it under windows?

    Customer: "No, my desk is next to the door, but that is a good point. The man sitting in the cubicle next to me is under a window, and his printer is working fine."

    *****

    Tech support: Okay Bob, let's press the control and escape keys at the same time. That brings up a task list in the middle of the screen. Now type the letter "P" to bring up the Program Manager.

    Customer: I don't have a P.

    Tech support: On your keyboard, Bob.

    Customer: What do you mean?

    Tech support: "P"... on your keyboard, Bob.

    Customer: I'M NOT GOING TO DO THAT!
