> From the WordPerfect Help Desk
>
> This is a true story from the WordPerfect helpline. Needless to say, the help desk employee was fired; however, he/she is currently suing the Word Perfect organization for "Termination without Cause."
>
> Actual dialogue of a former WordPerfect Customer Support employee with a caller:
>
> "Ridge Hall computer assistant; may I help you?"
>
> "Yes, well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect."
>
> "What sort of trouble?"
>
> "Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away."
>
> "Went away?"
>
> "They disappeared."
>
> "Hmm. So what does your screen look like now?"
>
> "Nothing."
>
> "Nothing?"
>
> "It's blank; it won't accept anything when I type."
>
> "Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out?"
>
> "How do I tell?"
>
> "Can you see the C: prompt on the screen?"
>
> "What's a sea-prompt?"
>
> "Never mind. Can you move the cursor around on the screen?"
>
> "There isn't any cursor, I told you, it won't accept anything I type."
>
> "Does your monitor have a power indicator?"
>
> "What's a monitor?"
>
> "It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV. Does it have a little light that tells you when it's on?"
>
> "I don't know."
>
> "Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into it. Can you see that?"
>
> "Yes, I think so."
>
> "Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged into the wall."
>
> ".......Yes, it is."
>
> "When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two cables plugged into the back of it, not just one?"
>
> "No."
>
> "Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the other cable."
>
> ".......Okay, here it is."
>
> "Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into the back of your computer."
>
> "I can't reach."
>
> "Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is?"
>
> "No."
>
> "Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way over?"
>
> "Oh, it's not because I don't have the right angle - it's because it's dark."
>
> "Dark?"
>
> "Yes - the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming in from the window."
>
> "Well, turn on the office light then."
>
> "I can't."
>
> "No? Why not?"
>
> "Because there's a power outage."
>
> "A power... A power outage? Ah, Okay, we've got it licked now. Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your computer came in?"
>
> "Well, yes, I keep them in the closet."
>
> "Good. Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just like it was when you got it. Then take it back to the store you bought it from."
>
> "Really? Is it that bad?"
>
> "Yes, I'm afraid it is."
>
> "Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them?"
>
> "Tell them you're too stupid to own a computer."
>
>
> ROFL
