The following telephone conversation took place earlier today:
Caller: “Hi, this is Kevin with Dell and I’m calling about your Dell Dimension 100. Your three year warranty expries this month and I’m calling to see if you’d like to renew… and tell you about some of our special offers.”
smays: “Uh, I’m afraid I’ve got some bad news for you, Kevin.”
Caller: “You’ve switched to Mac.”
smays: (surprised) “Yeah, I have. Uh, how’d you know?”
Caller: “People always say, ‘We’ve got bad news…’ just before they tell us they’ve switched.”
As in “We’ve got bad news – we’re not going to need the constant repairs, updates, troubleshooting and help on the other problems that glorified toaster brought us for years and years.”
The revolution continues…
