> LUser: "There is smoke coming out of the power supply."
> Tech: "You'll need a new power supply."
> LUser: "No I don't! I just need to change the startup files."
> Tech: "Sir, the power supply is faulty. You'll need to replace it."
> LUser: "No way! Someone told me that I just needed to change

> 10 minutes later, the LUser is still adamant that they

> Tech: "Sorry, Sir. We don't normally tell our customers this, but

> LUser: "I knew it!"
> Tech: "Just add the line LOAD NOSMOKE.COM at the end

> LUser: "It didn't work. The power supply is still smoking."
> Tech: "Well, what version of DOS are you using?"
> LUser: "MS-DOS 6.22."
