When idiots run tech support
Brandon Davenport- Customer: "The computer boots up without any warning beeps, but nothing shows up on the screen."
- Tech Support: "Is the monitor connected."
- Customer: "Yes, but there is no display."
- Tech Support: "Did you install the drivers for the VGA card?"
- Customer: "How can I install them before I'm in DOS?"
- Tech Support: "You have to install the drivers first before you can get a display."
- Customer: "You don't need VGA drivers to boot to DOS like you do for Windows. I should be able to boot to DOS."
- Tech Support: "Well, insert the floppy you received with your card. Go to the A:\Utilities directory. Type 'readme.com'."
- Customer: "I cannot see anything. How do you expect me to read a file on the screen?"
- Tech Support: "Read the file, and it will explain everything."
