Title: THE CORNER OF THE IDIOTS v.3.0 Post by: dr.c on August 08, 2009, 01:32:10 AM A guy called me, in trouble with his Mac and Performer.
After at least one hour, we finally arrived at the "Save as..." window. I told him : "Now, type the name you want to give to your file" I hear him then on the phone, labourously typing and spelling at the same time : "The-name-you want..." I stopped him and tell : "Hey ! What are you typing ?" "Well, what you told me to type !" "But What ?" You told me to type : "The name you want to give to your file" I began to become a bit nervous... After explaining him all the subtilities of names, we finally arrived at the point where he had to type the "Enter" key... - What key ?, he asks. - The "Enter" key... - I don't see any enter key - Its a big key on the right side, looking like a "L" upside down, we call it as well "Chariot return" - But, I don't have any charriot on my computer ! - I know, but its like if you want to go to the next line when you type a text, to jump at the next line for instance ! - But, I am not typing a text !, he answers Almost at the edge, like feeling grabbing an oxygen mask, I told him : - I KNOW you are not typing a text, but have you ever typed a text on a computer ? The guy answers : - Yes, but not on this one...

Since the diskettes were bigger, he folded them in four to put them into the Emax floppy reader.
He ruined it. Title: Re: THE CORNER OF THE IDIOTS v.3.0 Post by: midipuppies on August 09, 2009, 01:22:39 PM Are you serious?!! :o

Another one : a guy wich was the Fairlight distributor in France asked his secretary to put the Fairlight II diskettes in a safe place. She has put them in a folder so she perforated them (punch I think, is the right them). I GARANTEE THE AUTHENTICITY You want another one, wich happened to ME : A guy called me, furious, saying that we were crooks, wanting to sale disquettes by dozens. I asked what was wrong and he said he has an EIII and when he wants to save banks, when the machine asks him to put diskette #2 he was putting the same one, and again the same for diskette #3, etc... that he did'nt need to buy dozens of diskettes. I asked him if he has tried to reload the banks by using his diskettes and he answered that he didn't have time to loose wich such a stupid answer...
