The Computer Salesman Diaries
One morning Ziggy and I were sitting at our desks drinking our coffee and joking around. When a customer walked through the front door carrying a cable. He looks around the room as his eyes are adjusting to the light, focuses on me and asks "Do you sell these here?" gesturing with the lawnmower cable in his hand. Without missing a beat I quipped "Sure just tell me what computer that goes to and I'll see if I can find it." his eyes went wide and he tells me "This isn't for a computer this goes to a lawnmower." with a mischievous grin I tell him, "OHHH you want the lawnmower shop next door! We only sell computer parts over here."
According to urban legend, a massive stockpile of Atari gear — including truckloads of the notoriously awful game E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial — has laid buried in a New Mexico landfill for over...
Computer Salesman Diaries
Back in the early 90's while working in the Sears Computer Dept. I received a call from a distraught customer. apparently his new Packard Bell computer monitor, similar to the one pictured above, would not turn on. I informed him, "I'm going to ask you a series of questions and I know some of them will sound silly but based on my experience they will help troubleshoot the problem." so I began "is the monitor plugged in?" he replied " Yes it's plugged in to the master station that I use to turn everything on and off." I continued "Are the lights on, on the master station, including the one for the monitor?" he replied that they were. I stated "Please push the power button on the front of the monitor." at which time he became upset "I don't use that button I use the one on the master station!" he growled. I replied calmly "I understand that but would you humor me?" angrily he responded "I don't use that button." so I said "well maybe your wife..." he cut me off with "MY wife knows better than to touch MY computer!" so I tried another tack "you have children don't you?" he answered quite surprised "YES, how did you know?" "Press the button and I'll tell you" I said trying very hard not to laugh. so he presses the button and the monitor comes on. Then he askes me how I knew he had children. So I told him "Simple logic really, I knew at that point that the monitor power button had been pressed, you stated very clearly that your wife hadn't done it, you apparently hadn't done it so that left one logical probability. a child had done it. Therefor you must have children." he hung up.
I still smile every time I think of this story. One of my military tech instructors told us that "90% of all repairs in the field can be repaired by using the O N O F F switch." we all laughed at the time. Now I know better.
Zip long and prosper!

Computer Salesman Diaries
One morning back in 1994 while I was getting ready for work I turned on the radio to listen to what has to be the best radio show ever. Dave, Shelly and Chainsaw - Dawn Patrol.
DSC had been holding a fundraiser selling a best of CD called "Old Lady Maggothead" to raise $10,000 to buy one of those canine companions, a service dog. Well, Dave explains, that on his way to work that morning had heard that Toys for Tots was behind on donations that year, They didn't have enough toys. Having heard that, he calls the accounting department to find out if they can do anything to help. He announces on the air "Not only do we have the $10,000 to buy a canine companion, but we have a second $10,000 to spend on Toys for Tots, and also a third $10,000 for a second canine companion."
So I made sure to turn in a couple days later for the big event.
So a couple days later the Dawn Patrol, Dave Shelly and Chainsaw take their morning show to Toys R Us there in San Diego. The manager called his entire staff in early just for the event. It was kinda cool to listen to Dave buying all those toys, "What are those? Skydancers? We'll take all of those..." Well during the event THREE Marine Corps 5ton trucks pull into the parking lot. Turns out that a Staff Sergeant down at the motor pool heard about the show, and realizing that two radio show vans would be insufficient to haul all the toys, brought the trucks and drivers to help. It was a fun show to listen to, hearing all the people that came together to make it happen.
I just had to share this because it was such an awesome thing to do for kids and Christmas. Thank you Dave, Shelly and Chainsaw, The Marine Corps, and Toys R Us for doing such a great thing. I will always remember you.
