IT SupportOur IT support guy has been in the job since 1979, and never misses an opportunity to pick up a mouse and say "Hello computer" into it, Star Trek-style. Tell us your tales from the IT support cupboard, either from within or without.

GatwayI think they went out of business...
So my dad bought a gateway pc back in the year dot. Mid to late '90s.
We were doing some basically installation/re-installs of windows.
I was tasked with the job. So insert cd, follow prompts on the screen. 30 minutes passed and it wasn't working. 60 minutes and i decide to call the support number. 45+ minutes of waiting and i hear a human voice, so i started to explain what had happened etc. As i lean back in my chair i spy the cd draw is open.
Some rushed words of "oh i have ound the problem, never mind" and hang up. Shame it was an international call really. I have learnt, always check the drive.
