Tech support call

I had this conversation recently with a lady who swore she had been using computers since forever.

Tech Support: "All right. Now click 'OK'.
- Customer: "Click 'OK'?
Tech Support: "Yes, click 'OK'.
- Customer: "Click 'OK'?"
Tech Support: "That's right. Click 'OK'.
- Customer: "So I click 'OK', right?"
Tech Support: "Right. Click 'OK'.

Pause...

- Customer: "I clicked 'Cancel'."
Tech Support: "YOU CLICKED 'CANCEL'???"
- Customer: "That's what I was supposed to do, right?
Tech Support: "No, you were supposed to click 'OK'
- Customer: "I thought you said to click 'Cancel'.
Tech Support: "NO. I said to click 'OK'.
- Customer: "Oh."

Tech Support: "Now we have to start over."
- Customer: "Why?"
Tech Support: "Because you clicked 'Cancel'
- Customer: "Wasn't I supposed to click 'Cancel'?
Tech Support: "No. Forget that. Let's start from the top."
- Customer: "Ok."

I spent the next fifteen minutes re-constructing the carefully crafted
setup for this lady's unique computer.

Tech Support: "All right. Now, are you ready to click 'OK'?"
- Customer: "Yes."

Tech Support: Great. Now click 'OK'

Pause...

- Customer: "I clicked 'Cancel'."

And people wonder why my mouse
pad has a target on it labeled

"BANG HEAD HERE!"

Nostalgia...

90-ndatel kui Internet oli alles noor, oli peaaegu iga amatööri poolt tehtud personaalse veebilehe "kohustuslikuks" komponendiks paar animeeritud GIF faili.

Mõnel oli neid hulganisti, nii et silme eest oli kirju.
Eriti populaarne oli ka "UNDER CONSTRUCTION" silt, mis seisis veebi mõnel leheküljel seepärast et esialgu polnudki sinna mitte midagi muud panna.
Ja nii siis oligi ta seal, lõputult, aastaid: UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Mõned animeeritud GIF näited tollest ajast on siin olevas raamitud kastis.

See hüppav lammas oli minu kodulehel ka, vist aastal 1996 :D
