Not really a joke, but still remember when I worked at the MCI technical 
call center in Chandler, AZ... there was an Iomega side and a Compaq 
support side (I worked on the Iomega side)... was walking over to lunch, 
and a friend that worked on the Compaq side popped up, looked around for 
anyone to tell this to... he asked the customer to hold for a moment, he 
had too much trouble to stop from laughing...

I didn't even understand the statement he made at first, "The c???er is 
broken" ... huh? ... "they said their cupholder was broken" ... of 
course it was the CD-Rom drive that they had been using as a cup holder. 
  IIRC, this was around 1994 or so.

The worst call I got was someone trying to backup their files when the 
power was out... I swear I spent 20m with they guy while he checked all 
the cables for the Jazz drive were connected, etc... seriously didn't 
think to tell me the power was out until I asked if he could pull the 
computer out so he could check the connection clearly without the 
flashlight.  The SCSI card that came with some of the devices had the 
same connector as a printer port, and people would often plug into the 
wrong port, or not install the card, because they didn't know the 
difference.
