I wonder if there has ever been another time in history when there were such big differences in peoples knoledge of current technology.

She could not print yellow. All the other colors would print fine, which truly baffled me because the only true colors are cyan, magenta, and yellow.

For instance, green is a combination of cyan and yellow, but green printed fine. Every color of the rainbow printed fine except for yellow. I had the customer change ink cartridges. I had the customer delete and reinstall the drivers. Nothing worked. I asked my coworkers for help; they offered no new ideas.

After over two hours of troubleshooting, I was about to tell the customer to send the printer in to us for repair when she asked quietly, "Should I try printing on a piece of white paper instead of this yellow paper?"]]>Feb 3rd 2009 7:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/usb-cake-design-worst-birthday-surprise-in-history/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/usb-cake-design-worst-birthday-surprise-in-history/A few years ago I was working for an ISP tech support. One time I get a call from this kid about some problem. Standard procedure - before inquiring about the problem I ask him to close all the windows on his computer. Some strange noises followed. After a few seconds I hear this kid being slightly out of breath and asking me: "Sir? Should I close the doors also?"]]>Feb 3rd 2009 8:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/usb-cake-design-worst-birthday-surprise-in-history/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/usb-cake-design-worst-birthday-surprise-in-history/Feb 3rd 2009 8:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/usb-cake-design-worst-birthday-surprise-in-history/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/usb-cake-design-worst-birthday-surprise-in-history/Feb 3rd 2009 9:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/usb-cake-design-worst-birthday-surprise-in-history/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/usb-cake-design-worst-birthday-surprise-in-history/
I used to work for a web company that provided tech. support to a brick&mortar dating service with a website for viewing profiles. Most of the users were either serious Luddites or had bought and used a PC for the very first time just in the hopes of meeting that special someone.

One day I took a call from a guy of indeterminate age who was clearly illiterate, using AOL, didn't know anything about computers and couldn't access the site. I was attempting to re-direct him to a back-door URL we were using on a proxy server. I had to slo-o-o-o-wly spell out the URL while he hunted and pecked for each and every letter, averaging about one letter per every 30 seconds. I had to re-spell "H-T-T-P" 5 times alone! The topper for me was having to explain what a colon was and waiting for a couple of minutes while he tried finding it on his keyboard. It took somewhere around 15 minutes to get the guy to type in a single URL. My co-workers listening in enjoyed every minute of it.
