Most computer users understand that you need an operating system to use a computer practically, even if it is not clear why. But many users don't.
Tech Support: "May I ask what operating system you are running today?"
Customer: "A computer."A girl walked into the computer center where I work. She said she was having problems with her Mac. I asked what kind of Mac she had. In an indignant voice, she replied, "Duh, Intosh."
Tech Support: "What operating system are you running? Windows 95?"
Customer: (a little too excited) "95, 97, 98, I've got them all!"After conferring with her husband, it turned out she owned a Macintosh with System 8.1.
Tech Support: "What version of Windows are you running?"
Customer: "I got the computer in 2003, so I think it's a Windows 2003. Or maybe it's a Windows 2004? I got it late in the year."
Tech Support: "Um, ok."
Customer: "Is that wrong?"
Tech Support: "No, no, that sounds about right. Tell me, would you know what service pack you have for that?"
Customer: "Well, when I got to the register, the young man who rang me up said was about the 5th person to buy it. So it might be service pack 5."A kid in my class joined a conversation I was having about older computers.
Him: "I have the oldest Windows ever at my house. It's Windows 92."
Me: "Uhhh, there is no such thing as Windows 92."
Him: "Oh, well it's something like that. I'm pretty sure it's Windows 94."
Me: "There's no such thing as Windows 94, either."
Him: "Well it's something like that!"more RinkWorks
