Here is a direct quote from page 7 of the Gallien Krueger 700RB-II / 1001RB-II owner's manual

Seen on the help text of a Bulletin Board (before the internet, there were dial-up bulletin boards, you connected to them individually with a dial-up modem and the connection settings they used were all slightly different). If you selected "help with connection problems", you got:

So this kid calls the helpdesk and says:
My PC won't work ...
Helpdesk guy replies:
OK, is everything switched on - the screen and the PC?
Yes.
Hmm, is it plugged into the power outlet - follow the power cable and check
Hmm, can't see in the dark
Well (laughs) turn on a light!!
Can't do that.
Why not?
There's a power cut!!.
After a brief silence, the helpdesk guy says:
Do you still have the packaging it came in?
Yes.
OK, here's the deal. When it gets light, pack up your PC and take it back to the store you got it from.
OK, will they be able to fix it?.
No, but you are obviously too darn stupid to own a PC.!!!

Me: Hello, customer service please.
Dealer: Yes, how can we be of service?
Me: Yeah, I put my key in the ignition and it won't turn, basically nothing happens, the car won't start or do anything.
Dealer: Please put the key in the ignition.
Me: Okay
Dealer: Please turn the steering wheel to the left to unlock the steering lock.
Me: Yeah, that works. Duh!
Dealer: Please start the car.
Me: Yep, started right up.
Dealer: Anything else we can help you with?
Me: Yes, I need help but it has nothing to do with cars. I'm having trouble with my fine grasp of the obvious. 
Dealer: Have a nice day, sir.
Me: Thank you. |

I keep getting a recording telling me to first go to their troubleshooting web site to help diagnose the problem.

I was in the middle of using it and it powered itself off and wouldn't power back up. I called the company's support desk. I explained what happened. She asked me how many times this occured. I said well if it shut itself off and won't power back on that would have to be ONE TIME now wouldn't it. She didn't get it. |
