" Bill Bloggs, computer expert here. May I help you?"-"Yes. I'm having trouble with my computer."-
" What sort of trouble?".-" I was typing, and suddenly,the words went away."
"Went away?"--"Yes. They disappeared."
" Hmm,So what does your screen look like now?"--"Nothing on it.Simply nothing."
" Nothing on it?"--"Its blank.It wont accept anything when I type."
" Are you still in WORD, 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 is no cursor.I told you it wont accept anything I type"
" Does your Monitor have a power indicator?"--"What's a monitor?"
" Its the thing on the screen that looks like a TV.
Does it have a little light that tells you when its on?"--"I don't know."
"Well then. Look at the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into it.Can you see that?-"-"-I--Think--so--".
" Great.Follow the cord to the plug and tell me if its 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".---"OK.Here it is!."
" Follow it for me, and tell me if its plugged securely into the back of the computer."----"-I can't reach!"
" Uh!Uh! Well--.Can you you see if it is?-" "-No---"
" Even if you 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 dark1"
"Dark??-"--"-Yes. The office light is off and the only light i have is coming in from the window."
"Well!Turn the office light on-then!"--"-I can't.".
" No??Why not??-""-Because there is a power cut!"
" Aha! OK.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 garage."
" Good.Go and get them, Unplug your system and pack it up just like when you got it.Then take it back to the store where you bought it."---"Really? Is it That--bad?"
" Yes-I'm afraid so."---"Well--All right then, I suppose.What do I tell them?"
"Tell them that--YOU'RE TOO ~~~~~~----STUPID TO OWN A COMPUTER!!!!!"
