Forwarded to me.... >>True story from a Novell NetWare SysOp: >> >> Caller: "Hello, is this Tech Support?" >> >> Tech Rep: "Yes, it is. How may I help you?" >> Caller: "The cup holder on my PC is broken and I am within my warranty >>period. How do I go about getting that fixed?" >> >> Tech Rep: "I'm sorry, but did you say a cup holder?" >> >> Caller: "Yes, it's attached to the front of my computer." >> >> Tech Rep: "Please excuse me if I seem a bit stumped, it's because I am. >> Did you receive this as part of a promotional, at a trade show? How did >>you get this cup holder? Does it have any trademark on it?" >> >> Caller: "It came with my computer, I don't know anything about a >>promotional. It just has '4X' on it." >> >> At this point the Tech Rep had to mute the caller, because he could not >>stand it. The caller had been using the load drawer of the CD-ROM drive as a >>cup holder, and snapped it off the drive. >> >>- >I think the fault here lies in the fact that the user failed to read >the manual, if he had done so he would have realised that a 4X cup >holder will only support paper cups no larger than 10 fl ozs.

Maybe the FreeBSD mug should come with a warning, "Not to be used with a 4X cup holder."
