    From the page: "# When you call us to have your computer moved, be sure to leave it buried under half a ton of postcards, baby pictures, stuffed animals, dried flowers, bowling trophies and childrenâ€s art. We donâ€t have a life, and we find it deeply moving to catch a fleeting glimpse of yours. # Donâ€t write anything down. Ever. We can play back the error messages from here. # When an I.T. person says heâ€s coming right over, go for coffee. That way you wonâ€t be there when we need your password. Itâ€s nothing for us to remember 700 screen saver passwords. # When you call the help desk, state what you want, not whatâ€s keeping you from getting it. We donâ€t need to know that you canâ€t get into your mail because your computer wonâ€t power on at all. # When I.T. support sends you an E-Mail with high importance, delete it at once. Weâ€re just testing. # When an I.T. person is eating lunch at his desk, walk right in and spill your guts right out. We exist only to serve. # Send urgent email all in uppercase. The mail server picks it up and flags it as a rush delivery. # When the photocopier doesnâ€t work, call computer support. Thereâ€s electronics in it. # When somethingâ€s wrong with your home PC, dump it on an I.T. personâ€s chair with no name, no phone number and no description of the problem. We love a puzzle. # When an I.T. person tells you that computer screens donâ€t have cartridges in them, argue. We love a good argument. # When an I.T. person tells you that heâ€ll be there shortly, reply in a scathing tone of voice: â€oeAnd just how many weeks do you mean by shortly?” That motivates us. # When the printer wonâ€t print, re-send the job at least 20 times. Print jobs frequently get sucked into black holes. # When the printer still wonâ€t print after 20 tries, send the job to all 68 printers in the company. One of them is bound to work. # Donâ€t learn the proper term for anything technical. We know exactly what you mean by â€oeMy thingy blew up”. # Donâ€t use on-line help. On-line help is for wimps."
