The following is supposedly a true story. To be included, besides
being true, the story is most likely strange, weird, surprising, or
funny.
Gerrad, a friend of mine, bought a computer, even though he had never
even used a typewriter before. After investigating the computer, he
decided to call the help line. A friendly voice explained step by
step how his new machine worked. All went well until the voice told
him to press the space bar. After studying the keyboard, Gerrad said;
"I've got the latest model and it doesn't have a space bar." But
after further explanation, he managed to find it.
A week later, Gerrad again had problems and called the help line. An
instructor was then sent to his house for training. But after a few
minutes, Gerrad's head was spinning. "You don't need to go any
further," he sighed, I don't understand a thing."
To cheer him up, the instructor said: "Hey, there are people who
understand a lot less than you. Last week we had someone on the phone
who didn't even know where the space bar was!"
