well, i'm lucky enough to not directly support anyone anymore, but i do deal second hand with silly user issues.

prior to the company i am at now i worked at BBN/GTE/Genuity whatever they were that year. i was in the first round of techies that new leased line customers talked to, so i got to help people figure out ip addresses and all sorts of other things that they just never understood.

and even better - before that i was at TIAC. boston / new england area people may well have had the (dis)pleasure of using them for internet access in some way shape or form.

scary stuff that. lots of good stories from there. maybe i'll tell the one about the guy picking up his phone and listening to modem tones while expecting to get on "that internet"

When did you do stuff for TIAC? Back about 94 or so, when they won the Best of Boston from Boston Mag... well it was me and my roomie who gave them that award. They didn't USED to suck. then they won the award, used the money to expand too fast without internal support and found themselves in suckhood. Sad really.
