    There are 10 types of computer technicians: those who understand binary numbers, and those who don't.

    A woman was helping her husband set up his
    computer,
    and at the appropriate point in the process, told
    him
    that he would now need to enter a password.
    Something
    he will use to log on.
    The husband was in a rather amorous mood and figured
    he would try for the shock effect to bring this to
    his
    wife's attention. So, when the computer asked him to
    enter his password, he made it plainly obvious to
    his
    wife he was keying in

    P...

    E...

    N...

    I...

    S...




    His wife fell off her chair laughing when the
    computer
    replied:

    ***PASSWORD REJECTED. NOT LONG ENOUGH***

    Hi,
    This is said to be true!!!
    Many years ago, OS licenses had to be paid monthly.
    In return for which you got a mag tape (age showing here) that contained fixes and also reset the expiry date.
    On one release they forgot to reset the expiry date.
    Systems across the world started to crash, time zones and all that.
    The workround was to set the date prior to month-end.
    Did it really happen, or was it urban folklore?

    Dunno, but can you imagine the screams, wails and general gnashing of teeth ..... and the curses aimed at the OS provider?

    Any posts are my opinion and only that. Please read at your own risk.

    This is genuine as I worked in a call centre and took this call.

    Working at an AOL call centre based in South Africa, we got all sorts of calls but I will never forget this one....

    Gentleman calls in and says that his keyboard isn't working. Already I'm thinking hes calling the wrong place but I decide to help anyways. So I tell him to try and type into Notepad. He gets nothing.

    I asked him to make sure the keyboard was plugged into the back of the PC properly. He said yes it was and even unplugged and plugged back in to make sure it hwasn't loose.

    I then said that it sounded like a problem with the keyboard and asked if he had another keybaord he could try instead. He said yes he had another on his desk and then it went quiet as he tried to swap them around.

    He came back. "Erm .. ummmm .. weeeelll .. you see ... I ummmm ... had the other plugged in and was using the wrong keybaord .. goodbye.. click"
