What Computers Say -

,

- and what they really mean:

It says: "Press Any Key"
It means: "Press any key you like but I'm not moving."

It says: "Fatal Error. Please contact technical support quoting error no. 1A4-2546512430E"
It means: "... where you will be kept on hold for 10 minutes, only to be told that it's a hardware problem."

It says: "Installing program to C:\...."
It means: "... And I'll also be writing a few files into c:\windows and c:\windows\system where you'll NEVER find them."

It says: "Cannot read from drive D:...."
It means: "... However, if you put the CD in right side up..."

It says: "Please Wait...."
It means: "... Indefinitely."

It says: "Directory does not exist...."
It means: ".... any more. Whoops."

It says: "The application caused an error. Choose Ignore or Close."
It means: "....Makes no difference to me, you're still not getting your work back."

It says: "Press A Key"
(This one's a programmers joke. Nothing happens unless you press the "A" key.)

I still recall the frequent "SYNTAX ERROR" response that usually halted any program that I wrote. :lol:

Only a 10 minute wait? You lucky kitty you!

Martin K 11. May 2009, 17:43

Yes, forget about calling online support. First you have to get through this gateway of choices - press this and this and this and this - and if you are lucky a real person suddenly says 'Hello!' and scares the shit out of you. Then you find out this person is just a secretary, or perhaps only an absolutely clueless intern to the secretary, who will put you on hold for another five hours until you get some university student on the horn who doesn't know anything but of course forwards your request to a 15 year old high school student who talks to you like you are a complete idiot and tells you to drink a glass of water and call again in the morning.

Kitty 11. May 2009, 17:58

That sounds exactly like when I'm trying to call my doctor. :yikes:

Martin K 11. May 2009, 19:04

My point exactly.

Lovinmalamutes 11. May 2009, 23:26

You forgot to add that the conversation doesn't start until they have your credit card number, then and only then, will anyone begin to transfer you, to who will put you on hold.:yikes: :lol: :faint:

Kitty 12. May 2009, 04:07

Hahaha, good point. I've never really been charged to call helpdesk.

*Whispers* Be quiet, we don't want to give them any good ideas. :insane:

theoddbod 12. May 2009, 08:21

This sounds like one of my stories :D

Kitty 12. May 2009, 08:22
