Me: "No, Mom, not on the keyboard; it's on the computer."
My Mother: "Computer?"
Me: "Yes, that gray box on the floor."
My Mother: "Ah, the engine!"
Me: "Engine?"
My Mother: "Yes, it's making lots of noise."

My Teacher: "Do you have a booty disk on hand?"
Me: (almost losing it) "Don't you mean a boot disk?"
My Teacher: "Oh no. I need a booty disk to make the system booty up."

Customer: "I am getting an error on my computer"
Tech Support: "What kind of error?"
Customer: "It says I have a corrupted file on my hard drive, and I should run 'Check Disk'."
Tech Support: "Ok, we need to call in a ticket, and someone will be down shortly."
Customer: "Can you make sure you bring some extra Check Disks, because mine does not work."
Tech Support: "Uh. We're out of stock right now, but I'll order some."

Customer: "I need to print out my letter here."
Me: "Ok, what program did you use to create it?"
Customer: "Macintosh!"
Me: "No, what actual program did you use. Was it MacWrite? Claris?"
Customer: "Microsoft."
Me: "OK, you used Microsoft Word. We have that here, so go ahead and sit down at one of these Macs."
Customer: "It wasn't Microsoft Word. It was Windows!"
Me: "I need to know what kind of computer you used. Was it a Macintosh or an IBM?"
Customer: "I don't think it was an IBM."
Me: "It could be an IBM compatible. Do you remember anything about what kind of computer it was?"
Customer: "Microsoft!"
Me: "Did the computer have a little apple on the front of it?"
Customer: "I think so."
Me: (What I should have done five minutes ago...) "Give me the disk, and I'll put it in my computer and check it out."
