While working at the university computer lab one evening, a student came over to ask me why her computer was running so slowly. She said that she was just surfing the Internet. I went over and examined her screen and noticed that she had approximately 230 separate browser windows open in Internet Explorer.
She thought that she could only use each one once.
I used to work at the IT Support Desk for a university. A librarian at one of our libraries was surfing the web one day and came across a site that said it was best viewed using the Internet Explorer browser. So she called me and said she needed a “browser” to view this site, and could we install a browser onto her system?
I told her that if she was viewing the site already, she was already using a browser, but, unsatisfied with that answer, she went over my head to the Directory of Libraries and said that we were being uncooperative about providing her with a browser.
I called up tech support because Internet Explorer insisted on opening everything I was trying to download with Quicktime.
Customer: “Internet Explorer insists on opening everything I try to download with Quicktime.”
Tech Support: “Ok.”
Customer: “So whenever I click on anything that I want to download it tries to open it with Quicktime.”
Tech Support: “Are you sure that its not a Quicktime file?”
Customer: “No it’s an exe file.”
Tech Support: “So it’s not a Quicktime file?”
Customer: “No, and I can’t right click either, to do a Save Target As.”
Tech Support: “Oh, but you’re sure it’s not a Quicktime file, right?”
Customer: “Yes, it is an executable file, DOT E X E, not DOT M O V.”
Tech Support: “Is it a .exe that can be opened in Quicktime?”
