Errr...

Granted, computer terminology is frequently complicated and misleading. But shouldn't people know what they own?



  • My Friend: "What kind of processor do you have?"
  • Me: "A [name of processor]."
  • My Friend: "Oh, me too."
  • Another Guy: "Hey, I have a word processor!"
  • Tech Support: "What kind of modem do you have?"
  • Customer: "Oh, it's a 486."
  • Tech Support: "No, that's the kind of computer you have. Ok, how much memory do you have?"
  • Customer: "It's supposed to have one gigabyte."
Customer: "I'm about to get on a plane. Is it ok for Office to go through the X-ray machine?"
