Not really a joke, but still remember when I worked at the MCI technical
call center in Chandler, AZ... there was an Iomega side and a Compaq
support side (I worked on the Iomega side)... was walking over to lunch,
and a friend that worked on the Compaq side popped up, looked around for anyone to tell this to... he asked the customer to hold for a moment, he
had too much trouble to stop from laughing...

I didn't even understand the statement he made at first, "The c???er is broken" ... huh? ... "they said their cupholder was broken" ... of
course it was the CD-Rom drive that they had been using as a cup holder.
IIRC, this was around 1994 or so.

The worst call I got was someone trying to backup their files when the
power was out... I swear I spent 20m with they guy while he checked all
the cables for the Jazz drive were connected, etc... seriously didn't
think to tell me the power was out until I asked if he could pull the
computer out so he could check the connection clearly without the
flashlight. The SCSI card that came with some of the devices had the
same connector as a printer port, and people would often plug into the
wrong port, or not install the card, because they didn't know the
difference.
