Computer Folklore with an emphasis on Micro Computers

Angie is a saleswoman at a computer store, Pugsly is a programmer who knows how to run a complex word processor called ‘Wordstar’ and Supersalesman is a salesman at the computer store who knows how to sell, but not much about computers.

Angie: Pugsly…line one.. our salesman needs help copying a Wordstar disk.

Pugsly: ( grate) ok…hello…yeah….this is what you do…put the system master copy in drive A and then install the version of Wordstar in drive B…now type in ‘A:’…yes…yes…hit return now…type in ‘era.*.*’ and type ‘y’ again and return. Good.”

Supersalesman: Now what do I do?

Pugsly: You just erased both disks…you can’t do shit…. Now this will teach you a lesson to read the docs (documentation) when I say read the docs…so you are done now and you for bothering me.

hummmmmmmm…..

Supersalesman: Pugsly……pugsly…..pugsly!!!!!(2)
