This is a true story from the WordPerfect help
line. Needless to say the help desk employee was
fired; however, he/she is currently suing the
WordPerfect organization for "Termination
without Cause". Actual dialogue of a former
Word perfect Customer Support
employee:
"Ridge Hall computer
assistant; may I help
you?"
"Yes, well, I�m having
trouble with WordPerfect."
"What
sort of trouble?"
"Well, I was just
typing along, and all of a sudden the words went
away."
"Went
away?"
"They
disappeared."
"Hmm. So what does
your screen look like
now?"
"Nothing."
"No
thing?"
"It�s blank; it won�t
accept anything when I type."
"Are
you still in WordPerfect, or did you get
out?"
"How do I
tell?"
"Can you see the C:
prompt on the screen?"
"What�s a
sea-prompt?"
"Never mind. Can you
move the cursor around on the
screen?"
"There isn�t any
cursor: I told you, it won�t accept anything I
type."
