Deez Posted August 23, 2003 Posted August 23, 2003 Please read the story before you look at the pictures!! :o You won't beleive your eyes!! :o :o This is a true story..... This woman went out to a local computer store to buy a computer that her family wanted her to get so she can e-mail them. The sales person told her that they would deliver the computer, set it up and give her some pointers on using it, if she had any problems later all she had to do was call their "Technical Support" they would talk her through it over the phone or come back to her house to find the problem. The sales person asked her if she wanted to purchase 2 years in house warranty, the woman said yes. A few months went by, she was getting good sending and receiving mail and checking the other web sites with only one call to tech support until one day. She called tech support. SUPPORT: "hello, technical support how can I help you" LADY: last night my computer started making a lot of hissing noise at me so I shut it down, this morning when I turned it on the computer started hissing and cracking, then started smoking and a bad smell, then nothing. SUPPORT: I will have a technician come over first thing this morning, just leave the computer just like it is so they can find the problem and fix it or change it out with another computer. Give me your address and phone number and the technician will be there just as soon as they can. When the technician got there, the lady showed the technician where the computer was, said what happen to it, this is what the technician found wrong. Take a look at the pictures... you won't believe your eyes!!! :o :o I'm STILL shivering!! :o :o Quote

courtnek Posted August 23, 2003 Posted August 23, 2003 Oh my.....I guess it was cold....geez..... :o A story to go along with that. The term "bug" for a computer defect originated back in the 60's, when simple calculating computers (punch cards) were 6 ft tall and 3 or 4 feet wide. They gave off so much heat they had huge circulating fans in the back. On one of these machines one day the punch cards were all coming out wrong, what they keyed in was not displaying on the reports. They took the back off of the computer and found a moth had landed on one of the transistors, frying both itself and the transistor - therefore, the term "bug". :lol: Quote
