techrecoveryMe: Okay, can you take out the battery?
Her: Thats under the computer, right?
Me: Yes, there's a large screw that you can turn with a coin.
Her: I don't have a screwdriver small enough to turn the screws.
Me: That's the RAM cover. Look at the other cut-out panel.
Her: I don't see it.
Me: In the lower-right corner
Her: There's nothing there.
Me: Okay, when you look at the computer, do you see two cut-out panels.
Her: Yes. one in the middle, and the other one.
Me: Where is the other one?
Her: In the corner.

Me: 15 inch powerbook g4 and you don't see a screw here?
Her: No.
Me: Okay, do you see a latch?
Her: Huh?
Me: A latch, like a little switch?
Her: No, there's just this round thing.
Me: Round thing, like a screw?
Her: Yeah, but a screw driver wouldn't fit.
Me: It wouldn't-
Her: It's too big.
Me: Try a coin. It should turn.
Her: Oh. It works.
Me: Okay, do you see the serial number inside the compartment?
Her: Yeah, it's....(starts reciting battery serial number)
Me: No, that's on the battery. Check inside the compartment.
Her: Uh...is it the FCC ID?
Me: No. Serial number will start with QT, W8 or V7.
Her: Well, I've got...(Starts reciting serial number for a 12-inch iBook)

Then there's the ones who can do some things, think they know more than you when it comes to "their mac", then when you show them the problem, resolve it and so on, they're still ungrateful snobs, "but it wasn't like that before"...
Mac users like me who know what they're doing and can get out of almost everything (except things like the keyboard being fubar, which has happened to me).
Mac geeks. My resource if things go utterly wrong, which they haven't, yet.

Date: 2006-01-07 10:40 am (UTC)I'm Sr. Support Specialist for a Medical School that is all Mac / OS X based. And the only major difference is that it's harder for the students to fark up a Unix box like OS X. Harder, not impossible.
What they do to the hardware defies belief.
We do have a couple PC's for specialty apps. And the same people can fark those up as badly, if not worse because some of them think they're PC gods.....
