This is a question IT Support

Our IT support guy has been in the job since 1979, and never misses an opportunity to pick up a mouse and say "Hello computer" into it, Star Trek-style. Tell us your tales from the IT support cupboard, either from within or without.

Not support as such
and possibly mentioned before, but utterly true...

~~lines of waviness~~back to early 90s~~beige keyboards & green screens~~

Many years ago I worked for a (tempera)mental old nutter. One day he was in his office behind the clear glass partition going absolutely raving batshit about something. He would have made Alex Ferguson, mid hairdryer rant, look pale and calm. Pens and cups were flying. Expletives were flying. PC almost went flying. After a couple of minutes, which seemed like longer in rage-time, came a cry for assistance.

"Get the FUCK in here, right fucking NOW!" he shrieks. He had a way with words, mostly like Chubby Brown on a sponsored curse-a-thon.

Wondering what I or someone had screwed up, I went in.

"Tony? What the hell's going on?"

"WHERE THE CUNTING FUCK IS THE BASTARD "A" ON THIS FUCKING BASTARD KEYBOARD?"

Nope
Never used Q. All item codes started with "T", had "L", "M" or "R" then numbers, he never needed to use his solitary fat typing finger anywhere east of "T".

But "yes" to moron!
