Tech Support Call
« on: July 16, 2006, 09:16:11 PM »
SUPPORT: "Hello, technical support.  How can I help you?"

LADY: "Last night my computer started making a lot of hissing noise at me so I shut it down. This morning when I turned it on, the computer started hissing and cracking, then started smoking and a bad smell, then nothing."

SUPPORT: "I will have a technician come over first thing this morning.  Just leave the computer just like it is so they can find the problem and fix it or change it out with another computer. Give me your address and telephone number and the technician will be there just as soon as possible."

   When the technician got there, the lady showed the technician where the computer was and told what happened to it.  This is what the technician found wrong. Take a look at the pictures... you won't believe your eyes!!!

   And you thought you had computer problems

Wow. That's gotta chop! (And electrocute)
Are you sure its real, GX1? (I'm going to call you GX1 now, the _Man takes too long)
How the heck is that supposed to happen?
Where did this lady live? And why does she obviously live in a non snake proof house?

With my 98SE system right now, that's exactly what its running!
Windows 98.5 or something like that... (I really need those 98SE install disks. It would fix so many problems...)
