I used to work tech support for Gateway, Acer, and eMachines. Ill just put it this, way, we supported the hardware only. "whats that? Your dial-up modem isnt working? Well, lets reformat/reload windows and see if that helps. No? Ok, you pay for shipping into the repair depot and we will look into it."

I used to judge how well i was doing in a given day by how many people would tell me to go f*ck myself. Though thats not nearly so bad as when i did tech support for a company called "Funai". To put it simply, they make DVD players, TV's, DTV converters, etc. 80% of the call volume where people who couldnt understand how to hook up a DTV box. OMFG! Theres 3 God-damned plugs! Power, antenna in, and antenna out. Theres more steps involved with making a decent sandwitch!
