Me the other day trying to help a clueless friend with a computer problem over the phone:

 

User: It's got Windows 2010 installed.

Me: You mean you've got MS Office 2010...

User: No, I know it's got Windows 2010 on it!

Me: (Giving up) So what version of Office is on it?

User: What's that?

Me; You know, Word, Excel, PowerPoint...?

User: Oh, yes, we downloaded that free from the internet last year - it's Office 2011.

Me: Are you sure? The only Office 2011 is the version for Mac computers...?

User: Yes I'm sure. I'm not stupid!

 

At this point I recall that I'm dealing with someone who is convinced that there are five seasons in a year, not four (winter, spring, summer, autumn, winter) and has a tattoo of Britney Spears on their abdomen. I told them I couldn't help them with their problem and to take it to PC World.

... and has a tattoo of Britney Spears on their abdomen...

 

Erm.. do we want to know how you found this out?!

the answer is, yes we do!

[Gatt]

the answer is, yes we do!

 

As long as it doesn't involve belly buttons and USB Sticks

[andy_nic]

In my local computer shop they had a laptop with a 40 gig SIDD, I think they meant SSD.

[sparkeh]

User: It's got Windows 2010 installed.

Arrrrrgggghhhhh!

/me runs into the hills screaming

Could be worse

[tech_guy]

Yes, because I've seen them in a bikini at a barbecue.

Ahh, the old "confusing office with windows" problem. Happens all the time here, and to my parents, and my friends, and... well, a suprisingly large amount of people, actually.

 

I was asked for Windows 2003 to be put on a new laptop just last week, I used to play ignorant to what they mean and state the obvious, "Err, windows 2003 is for servers only? It's got Windows 7" to be met with "No, I had Window 2003 on my old laptop. I don't like Windows 7, they've moved around the menus and things" and generally wound them up until they realise they meant Office all along.

 

These days I just assume anyone means Office whenever they ask for Windows [anything].

[SC92]

Depends.. can I access the interwebz on this laptopamabob?

[kernewek-sam]

Same here. @elsiegee40 giga merts are the way forward none of this hertz nonsense.

I would definitely have installed Server 2003 and presented it "Ta-da, here's what you asked for"

Mechanics must come across this or something similar at some point where the driver says oh they have a 2.0 giga merts engine which is Diesel ......

 

All these years and other IT Techs including folk on here and we must of been getting it wrong, giga merts, silly me !!

TBH I probably sound like the mechanic equivalent of whoever wrote that ad when I talk about cars, but you can't have it both ways.
