Funny story: in the late 90s, I was working at Sears TeleServ in Round Rock Texas, just down the road from Dell HQ.  I was a tier 2 phone tech: if you bought a computer from Sears and one of their "maintenance asgreements", I was the helpful voice at the other end of the phone to fix what you broke.

I remember around 10 AM on a slow Wednesday morning I had a call put into my queue about someone unable to find the "any key".  Some poor Tier 1 script reader put that call through to me.  I had to really use restraint from laughing as I informed the woman that there was no "any key".

Hmm, you've given me an idea for a column called "Funny Tech Stories". <G>
