The following Call-of-the-Day was submitted by Apple Assurance agent Russ
|
|
Swindell in Tempe, Arizona:
|
|
|
|
After answering the phone in my usual manner I was halted by the high pitched
|
|
squelch on the line. I repeated the greeting hoping that this was a dead line or
|
|
something. But the caller responded in a faint Texan voice:
|
|
|
|
€ Caller: Hello? € Agent: Yes, what type of computer are you calling about? €
|
|
Caller: Yeah, bud, I have a Quadra 605 and we are all in a cabin with inverted
|
|
power. Can ya here it? Well, how much voltage and power do I need to start this
|
|
thing up?
|
|
|
|
I read him the electrical specs for his machine. (100 volts)
|
|
|
|
€ Caller: Oh wow, I've got 98 volts right now. (And I hear him muffle the phone
|
|
as he yells) Honey! Yank that 'fridge!
|
|
|
|
After a moment, the squelching stops and I hear the Quadra start-up chime.
|
|
|
|
€ Caller: Yee-Haw!!! Honey, we got Links Pro! (turning back to the phone)
