The seductive nature of the Internet [comic]

• Customer: "What does 'dual-core' mean?"
• Salesman: "It basically means you have two computers in one. It also means you can plug your laptop into it."

• Customer: "Excuse me what is the difference in quality between my current digital camera [model number] and this one [priced $600 higher] here?"
• Sales Clerk: "Well, they're exactly the same, basically."
• Customer: "Well, when I watch these video files on my computer, it just doesn't look as clear as I want it to be."
• Sales Clerk: "Oh wait, are you using USB to transfer the files?"
• Customer: "Yes, I am."
• Sales Clerk: "Oh, that's probably why! Using USB to transfer is slow. You should use firewire."
• Customer: "Oh, I thought that that just affects the speed."
• Sales Clerk: "No, it's the quality. Because you can't transfer as much, so it loses quality."

The clerk spends a whole minute explaining how USB transferring is some sort of bottleneck affect and even use his hands to show the bottleneck effect.

• Customer: "So are you saying that when my camera records data on to its hard drive, and then that data is transferred to my computer, the data is re-encoded and loses size?"
• Sales Clerk: "Yes, it does. It's to do with the speed of the cable. You can ask one of the computer guys in the computer section. They'll say the same thing."

Customer: "My system's on fire. What do I do?"

• Customer: "My terminal is smoking and shooting sparks. Should I unplug it?"

• Tech Support: "Hello, tech support, may I help you?"
• Customer: (in a thick Russian accent) "Yes. Monitor is working fine but has sparks and smoke flying out back. Is ok?"
• Tech Support: (blink)

• Customer: "Hi, um, my printer smells funny, and it's smoking."
• Me: "Did you turn it off?"
• Customer: "Well, no, I was told never to turn it off without running it through shutdown, and it won't go through shutdown."
