We had a customer an hours drive away who called to say his printer was broken. We asked him to check that it was plugged in and he said it was. We told him that it would cost a minimum of $150 (1985 dollars) and he said he had to have us come that night. Drove over and the printer was plugged into the computer, but not the wall. I got to keep the service call money and he bought dinner for me and the friend that rode over with me. I wrote it up as a bad connection so he wouldn't get hassled by the owner. It is the most common error we faced. This was early in the new game of computers. We ended up creating a checklist for each site that could be checked with all plug locations and switch positions clearly marked so the people we worked for could check them without us.stitchinpennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06341867288910993051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7567148070676790205.post-14834571575654836812015-07-01T19:51:50.869-05:002015-07-01T19:51:50.869-05:00Yahoo!
