I really do wonder why I bother!

A mail was sent to the users saying

"TO ENABLE YOUR PC TO UPGRADE THE NEW VIRUS UPDATE - PLEASE REBOOT YOUR PC IMMEDIATELY"

We got 2 replies

"To whom it may concern.
I am unsure how to reboot my PC"

And the second person did not like the structure of the mail!

Thanks for listening. I have now finished my rant.

We had this one last week, I was pissing my self laughing. This honestly is a serious E-mail that a user sent to us.

Hello

There seems to be a problem with the printer on the first floor. Unable to photocopy. Message on screen reads 'Please add toner'.

Can you help?

Thanks!
Paul

I recently installed 3 new Solaris servers and the administrator was having problems getting the console keyboards working. Turns out he had connected two of the servers together with a USB keyboard cable insted of connecting a server to a keyboard. Doh !

A guy in our office called up saying his printer was printing in condensed print all the time.

Turns out he had trapped the printer cable under the leg of his desk.
