Tech Support Tips

ACME may be a top-class organization, but that doesn't mean that some fellow desk jockeys have some lapses in knowledge when it comes to technology. Here are a few reminders:

  • The CD drive in your computer was not built as a cupholder. Only CDs go in the CD tray.
  • Likewise, the floppy drive is not a credit card reader.
  • The mouse works best if it's kept on a horizontal surface; it's not a Wii Remote.
  • The computer is the gray tower-like thing. The thing with the pictures on it is the monitor.
  • Last but not least, if your computer is smoking or on fire, stop what you're doing, unplug the equipment, and call the fire department immediately! Don't worry about saving or proper shutdown procedures!

    I got another one: Mousepad ain't no coaster!

    True story, my computer once started smoking. Turns out my graphics card got so hot, it burned a cord. Luckily, nothing was seriously damaged. *grin*

    Hehehe, I love this list! I'm going to turn on my gray tower thingy now and watch youtube on the thing with the pictures on it. :)

    Ummmm... Chip, I appreciate your work, you know that you've fixed my computer enough times for me to do so. But is a statement this obvious necessary?

    If we can't use the CD drives, where do we keep our cans while searching Crime Net?
