I'v read almost 5 of the subjects i find the Y2k ones pretty good

Some friends of mine were bored and wandering around in some big chain store when they saw what was labeled as a Y2K-compliant flashlight.

The only thing I can't figure out is whether this was just stupidity or clever marketing aimed at stupid people.

[edit]

After reading the Y2K section it made me wonder.....Will something liek the Y2K bug effect us in the year 10,000? i know im stupid...sue me....

Funny thing is I lived this, as I used to do telephone tech support for "a very well known company".

One guy called in and said he took his fresh brand new notebook out, and turned it off. Every night at midnight the computer blasts out "Flight of the Bumblebee" at an incredibly loud volume!

Knowing that this was just impossible as it's brand new and the machine is OFF when it occurs, either he was crazy or he bought a second-hand machine with a BIOS virus. Anyways, since we're a 24 hour tech support line I told him to call back at 11:50pm and have a techie on the line when it happens.

He never called back. Hahaha.

The best story I heard was when a woman tried to edit a word document with tippex on the screen.

I don't suffer from insanity:

I enjoy every minute of it!

My favorite is the one where the 60 year old woman shoots her computer with a 12 gauge shotgun and expects the technician to be able to fix it.

That was a dumb blonde joke, it wasn't real.

So? I do that, if you have no surfaces during a late night programming spree it may be the closet thing possible (especially when your room grows very quickly, by the time you put the mug of caffeine, sugar and water down the table rejects it!)

I like the 60 year old one too! this site is great =P


Cut from our email support log:


Quote: "This morning I tried to sign on and for a purple screen. After several tried with different browsers then I got the message you were down. I tried to exit. It went to a background with huge pixels and stuck. I mean no amount of rebooting would get rid of it. Finally I had to reset my wallpaper. "
