Having just gone to a conference in Melbourne Australia (hello to all those I finally got to put a face too BTW *8-] I mentioned to our dinner table the classic piece of prose that outlines what a computer help desk call would be like if it was a car company. Everyone on the table was most amused, and before I knew it I was flooded in ISP business cards asking if I could email it to them. Now, I could create my own version of it, but I don't want to steal the thunder from the original (which I know is out there.) Does anyone have this funny telephone script? An excerpt of it looks something like this: Caller> Hello, my car isn't working! Helpdesk> Really sir? Have you turned it on with the key? Caller> Key? Helpdesk> Yes, it is a small metallic object you got with the car, put it in the ignition and turn it until you hear the engine noise Caller> Man these things are complicated.... You get the general drift I am sure for those than know. Thankyou all Regards, Mikel -- ----------------------------------------------------------- Mikel Lindsaar | "The dream is the foundation, mikel@cynet.net.au | of our society!" ----------------------------------------------------------- Cynet!
