Tech Support to report thathis computer is faulty.

Tech Support : What’s the problem?

Customer : There is smoke coming out of the power supply.

Tech Support : (keep quite)

Tech Support : You’ll need a new power supply.

Customer : No, I don’t! I just need to change the startup files.

Tech Support : Sir, the power supply is faulty. You’ll need to replace
it.

Customer : No way! Someone told me that I just needed to change the
startup and it will fix theproblem! All I need is for you to tell me
the command.

Tech support : 10 minutes later, the

User is still adamant that he is right. The techis frustrated and fed
up.

Tech support : (hush hush)

Tech Support : Sorry, Sir. We don’t normally tell our customers this,
but thereis an undocumented DOS command that will fix the problem.

Customer : I knew it!

Tech Support : Just add the line LOAD NOSMOKE.COM at the end of the
CONFIG.SYS . Let me know how it goes.

10 minutes later.

Customer : It didn’t work. The power supply is still smoking.

Tech Support : Well, what version of DOS are you using?

Customer : MS-DOS 6.22 .

Tech Support : That’s your problem there. That version of DOS didn’t
come with NOSMOKE. Contact Microsoft and ask them for a patch that
will give you the file. Let me know how it goes.

1 hour later.

Customer : I need a new power supply.

Tech Support : How did you come to that conclusion?

Tech Support : (hush hush)

Customer : Well, I rang Microsoft and told him about what you said,
and he started asking questions about the make of power supply.

Tech Support : Then what did he say?

Customer : He told me that my power supply isn’t compatible with
NOSMOKE!!!!!
