"I have a molten 200 Cyrlix"
I recieved a rather confused call today:
Me: hello.
Customer: Hi, my name is Jane Doe and I had my computer in for service at yours for about a half year ago, do you remember me? (realy suggersweat voice)
M:No (trying to muster all my dignity and happiness in that single word, trying not to sound ironic
)
C: My computer was dead and you said that the cpu had melted and then you was to expensive so I did not let you fix the computer. (Gasping for breath, she had to pause for a sec
)
C: Then I got/borrowed/bought a P233 2 from a friend and it don't fit, can you fix that?
M: Mayby, what was the CPU that melted?
C: A Cyrlix 200!
M: I'm sorry but the Cyrix 200 uses the "Socket 7" connector and the Pentium II 233 uses the "Slot1" Connector, and they are not interchangeable.
C: Is'nt there an adaptor, that could make it work?
M: No.
C: But can't you excahnge the P233 against a CPU that works in my computer?
M: ..........(thinking about a good answere)
C: Damnit I need this computer and I don't wanna pay any more to get it fixed!!
M: why dont you come down to the shop with your computer, and we'll discuss an exchange when we know what kind of cpu your computer needs?
C: But I said that I don't want to pay anymore Money, cant't I just bring the CPU?
M: No (Realy wanting to end the conversation quickly), But I promise that I you bring the computer and the Cpu's, We will look at them without charging anything.
C: hm.....I'l think about it, bye.
Click!
I still don't remember her or her computer.
She didnot show up today
EDIT:
1. My post sliped away before it was finished.
2. I do remember her!!
It was the Mainboard AND the CPU that was fried!!
And she refused to accept a used board and CPU and thought the "new" replacement parts was to expensive.
