Dear User,

When I said 'log out' when you go to lunch and I'll work on your PC, I really meant 'log out' not 'shutdown'.

Oh, and the monitor is often the "computer" and the computer itself is often the "hard drive".

Someone needs to teach a Use of English in Tech Support Contexts class .. and make it possible to check whether the person calling has passed it. And make passing it mandatory for talking to a support agent. Never happen, but it would sure be nice. >:-(

where DID "hard drive" originate anyways? About a third of my end users call it the hard drive.. "The hard drive is making noise" and then they look at me funny when I show up with a brand new Seagate...

Because "Motherboard", "CPU", and "Brain Part Of The Computer" were too difficult for them to figure out.
