I had a lady very interested in buying a new computer, she looked very sincere so I really tried to explain things to her. She said she was on a budget and wanted to know what kind of Computer I could build her for $35.00. That is not a typo. $35.00
She was shocked when I told her I could get her a nice calculator.

I actually had someone insist that I show her the language translator in Word 97. She said someone had told her that there was one in Word, and she wouldn't take no for an answer. I was doing a training and had a document that was a page full of standard dummy text (the "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetuer adipiscing elit" stuff). We were supposed to be doing some formatting and layout in Word. It took me quite a while to explain to this woman that the dummy text was NOT a foreign language, that it was just there for layout purposes, and that Word 97 did NOT have a foreign language translator in it.

This all is too funny. I work from out of my home. Had someone call and ask me why her computer wouldn't boot into windows, that there is just a black screen that says "Non System Disk", so she got scared and shut the computer down...I told her to take the floppy disk out of the floppy drive and then turn the computer on...hmmm, it worked!

"Well what do you think?"
"Can I get it by noon?"
(Well it's 11:30 and you need
a power supply, Mother board,
Ram,Video card,Sound Card, Modem,
Up graded to Win/98se.
And you want it by noon? Right?)
"Well maybe 1:00ish"
(On a Saturday By 1:00 thats what you want?)
" well It's kind of like this it's my Mother-in-laws computer and I was just trying to put in the new sound thing as a suprise"
( Try Monday Late ) Next time bring it in, before you kill it)
"okay Monday, But she's going to kill me"
(Well you have a nice weekend)
You Know Some people Should not open a Case,
or just put a new card in Leave the old card in, leave the tools sitting on the mother board and fire it up!

try this being asked to install win98se on a 486-33 with 8 megs of ram and a 340 meg hd and then the customer has nerve enough to argue that it will work because another shop in told him it would work ( they also sold him a agp vid card and a 52x creative cd-rom with assurances that they would work perfectly) i'm now in the process of building him a duron system and had the pleasure of listening to an old navy man explain exactly what he thought of the other shop over the phone
i loved it

Had a customer come in with a Packard Bell that wouldn't boot... Faulty Primary IDE Controller channel (what a surprise!!!), so we sold him a Celeron Upgrade -- Gigabyte Mobo, Celeron 633 & 64Mb Ram installed, runs great but now he's arguing that we should have fixed his mobo... so he's gonna take his old Mobo home & get it to work
HA HA HA HA HA

Had a lady phone asking if we could loan her a monitor while she sent her defective one back for manufacturer's warranty even though her 2 year warranty through us had expired approx. 6 months ago. We only give out loaners within our 2 year warranty if one of our monitors we sell to a customer fries. Never invest in Sceptre's again.
