Goofy display

I made the mistake of bragging about the reliabilty of my CompuCarve and not knocking on wood.

I decided to carve an image yesterday AM and all I got was a display of black boxes. I adjusted the contrast and no luck. I turned off the carver and removed the card. I then blew out the port and cleaned the card carefully. I tried this routine several time and still no luck.

I then called tech support and was asked if the card was in the machine. I said no, I had the card in the reader next to my computer. He told me that it needed to be in the carver...surprise!

I wasn't too happy, but I returned to the garage, inserted the card, and it worked. It could be that it was too warm in my garage, but if it works, so be it.

Wish I could have heard all of that conversation, when he asked you if your card was in the machine, or the look on your face. Happy Carving. Paul Brown

I have to admit I've done it too!

I am sure I looked like I did the day I called tech support at HP about an inkjet printer that wouldn't print on transparencies. The ink wouldn't dry and it was a mess. I figured that I had missed a setting so I decided to contact tech support.

The conversation went like this: "Hello, my name is &^%$, how can I help you?" I explained the problem I was having and his question was "HAVE YOU TAKEN THE PRINTER OUT OF THE BOX?"

Needless to say, I terminated that session immediately.
