Tech support
From Sunil Sharma

Computer user on the phone to technical support:
"My files are gone! The hard drive crashed! What should I do!"
Technical Support: "Did you back up?"
Computer user sincerely alarmed: "Why? Is my computer going to blow up?"
Customer: "Hello. I can’t get on the network."
Tech Support: "Ok. Just read me your asset number so we can open a line for you." Customer: "What is that?"
Tech Support: "That little barcode on the front of your computer."
Customer: "Ok. Big bar, little bar, big bar, big bar . . ."

Tech Support: "What does the screen say now."

Person: "It says, ‘Hit Enter when ready’."

Tech Support: "Well?"

Person: "How do I know when it’s ready?"

10 GB not enough

Ten little gigabytes, waiting on line, one caught a virus, then there were nine.

Nine little gigabytes, holding just the date, someone jammed a write protect, then there were eight.

Eight little gigabytes, should have been 11, then they cut the budget, now there are seven.

Seven little gigabytes, involved in mathematics stored an even larger prime, now there are six.

Six little gigabytes, working like a hive, one died of overwork, now there are five.

Five little gigabytes, trying to add more, plugged in the wrong lead, now there are four. Four little gigabytes, failing frequently, one used for spare parts, now there are three. Three little gigabytes, have too much to do, service man on holiday, now there are two. Two little gigabytes, badly overrun, took the work elsewhere, now just need one.

One little gigabyte, systems far too small, shut the whole thing down, now there’s none at all.
