I was working in ISP Tech Support on one occasion reading the
Rinkworks site and thought 'Nobody's THAT stupid!' having read a
particularly dumb example.  The very next call was the *EXACT* same
problem!

Computer Shopper did an article a couple of months ago on Computer
Stupidities and included a couple from their own staff.  One of the
staff had asked for a BIOS update on floppy disk and GUESSED the
motherboard version.  Oddly enough it killed the motherboard.  By a
sheer stroke of luck his CD still worked, so they sent him the right
update on a CD-R.

Cheers,

Julian
