PC FUN
Don't feel stupid about using your computer - read on -
This is an excerpt from a Wall Street Journal article:
1. Compaq is considering changing the command
"Press Any Key" to "Press Return Key" because of the flood of calls asking where the Any Key is.
2. AST technical support had a caller complaining that her mouse was hard to control with the dust cover on.
The cover turned out to be the plastic bag the mouse was packaged in.
3.Another Dell customer called to say he couldn't get his computer to fax anything. After 40 minutes of troubleshooting, the technician discovered the man was
trying to fax a piece of paper by holding it in front of the monitor screen and hitting the "send" key.
4.Another IBM customer had troubles installing software and rang for support. "I put in the first disk, and that was OK.
It said to put in the second disk, and I had some problems with the disk. When it said to put in the third disk, I couldn't even
fit it in...." The user hadn't realized that "Insert Disk 2" meant
to remove Disk 1 first.
5. Tech Support: "O.K. 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: "On your keyboard, Bob." Customer: "What do you mean?" Tech: "'P' on your keyboard, Bob." Customer: "I'm not going to do that!"

SOME SAD NEWS TO REPORT
(From Cleanlaffs.com)
There was a great loss recently in the entertainment world. Larry Laprise, the Detroit native who wrote the song "Hokey Pokey" died at age 83. It was especially difficult for his loved ones to bury
this very famous member of the family. They'd put his left leg in and...well, you know the rest.
Just for that Dan
