I was a tier 2 phone tech: if you       bought a computer from Sears and one of their "maintenance asgreements", I was       the helpful voice at the other end of the phone to fix what you broke.              I remember around 10 AM on a slow Wednesday morning I had a call put into my       queue about someone unable to find the "any key". Some poor Tier 1 script       reader put that call through to me. I had to really use restraint from       laughing as I informed the woman that there was no "any key".              Hmm, you've given me an idea for a column called "Funny Tech Stories". |
