- irfanmp, on 08/11/2008, -12/+662I guess Homer Simpson uses a Compaq.
- Jeremyz0r, on 08/12/2008, -3/+379"Keyboard not plugged in, press F1 to reboot."
- liah, on 08/11/2008, -5/+334Almost 10 years old according to the modification dates, but still amusing.
- badtzmartin, on 08/12/2008, -6/+279I've actually been asked where the ANY key is... Seriously.
- Emachine, on 08/12/2008, -5/+202Simpsons did it.
- faizal5k, on 08/12/2008, -4/+187*To start press any key...*
"Hmmm...where's the any key? There's no any key! Oh man all this working is getting me thirsty. I think I'll get a Tab. *presses Tab key*
"Oh, can't drink now, got work to do." - hodgenator, on 08/12/2008, -7/+147LISA NEEDS BRACES?!?
...Dental plan.. - bustabinary, on 08/12/2008, -2/+108I see "Alt", "Catarl", and "Pig Up"...
- JlmAWP, on 08/12/2008, -2/+88Those of us in the IT industry know that these people exist no matter what brand of PC they use. "Any key" jokes are busch league...at least they got the computer ON.

(burn) - getoffmybridge, on 05/05/2009, -2/+72I hate it when Compaq users call it a "Compact"
- inactive, on 08/12/2008, -4/+71emachines users are stupider
- JKAL, on 08/12/2008, -3/+65A long time ago (Win 3.11 era) before the dark times (Vista),
we have a guy phoning for help "his mouse was not moving the cursor consistently"
conversation went like this:
Tech: can you click the right button
user: which right button
T: how many right buttons can do you have
u: hmmm, I don't know.... about six.
Turns out he was moving his keyboard and sometimes bumping the mouse... - Bologner, on 08/12/2008, -3/+59:checks his laptop:
God damnit. - MalDON, on 08/12/2008, -1/+49My brand new ASUS motherboard says that...
- drobb21, on 08/12/2008, -2/+45The last line is "No time for that now, the computer's starting"
- yellowfish04, on 08/12/2008, -2/+40*phew* This is hard....where's my Tab?
- LuxFX, on 08/12/2008, -0/+36And... the screenshot itself is more than 7 years old, per the date visible in the top right of the image.
- jimpbblmk, on 08/12/2008, -0/+33Three users? Damn.

At least it's a real screenshot. - falstaff, on 08/12/2008, -0/+30Back when I worked in a university computer lab (way to shatter the Digg stereotypes), one guy asked me how to make capital letters. I always hesitate to even tell people that, since it sounds too ridiculous, but hey, not everybody grew up with computers in the house, I guess.
- getoffmybridge, on 05/05/2009, -2/+32Now, can that be any key on any keyboard? Does it have to be my keyboard?
- inactive, on 08/12/2008, -0/+27I'm pretty sure it was "Esk" and not "Alt."
- daRoach, on 08/12/2008, -0/+26The internet cares you freak.
- mediaspree, on 08/12/2008, -0/+26Reminds me of when a coworker sent me an email to ask if the email server was down. (it wasn't) Or in the early 90's when someone thumbtacked a floppy to my bulletin board asking if I could recover the data.
- addrake, on 08/12/2008, -2/+27In 2001...everyone damn near.
- konspence, on 08/12/2008, -1/+25The point of it is to plug in the keyboard upon seeing the message... Kind of a warning so you don't find the keyboard "randomly not working" in your operating system.
- arcooke, on 08/12/2008, -4/+27Before any of you retards start crying out fake and photoshopped:

Archived on Mar 17, 2001 - Dumbledorito, on 08/12/2008, -1/+24For trivia buffs, that particular episode, "King Size Homer," aired in 1995, 4 years prior to this FAQ entry.

- bagboyrebel, on 08/12/2008, -0/+21I have no problem believing that because I've heard things just as stupid. I had a guy try to tell me that IP addressees change every three seconds. I also overheard a guy in my physics class telling a couple of girls that Windows Vista actually rewires usb ports and that they wont work anymore if you switch back to XP.
- Chicken, on 08/12/2008, -4/+25Looks like you pissed off some apple fanboys.
- FunkyNuts, on 08/12/2008, -3/+23The Big Book of British Smiles
- wdr1, on 08/12/2008, -0/+19But I keep pressing "Shift" and nothing happens!
- FDL1, on 08/12/2008, -1/+19This is actually in Mac Help. I guess someone had to ask.
If your computer is making noises
As you get to know your computer, you may hear small noises. For example, your hard disk and optical drive may whir and click when your computer wakes up, when data is read, or when discs are loaded. After the computer runs for some time, fans may cool it, producing a faint buzz. The fans may start at full speed and then taper off. Small noises are part of the computer’s normal functioning.
If you hear a strange noise and your computer isn’t functioning correctly in some way, however, it may be time to investigate the sound and the malfunction. - doshindude, on 08/12/2008, -0/+18it's 98.
And I believe the correct grammar would be "You're an idiot." - specialK16, on 08/12/2008, -3/+19Hai there,
4chan is back.
You can leave digg alone now. - Sonan, on 08/12/2008, -0/+16The computer lab I worked at had a sign-in computer. The screen said "PRESS ANY KEY TO SIGN IN" and it sat right on the front counter where the techs sat. We got so tired of people asking where the "any" key is that we labeled the space bar: "ANY KEY"
- Phyltre, on 08/12/2008, -0/+16As though 4chan and Digg are two distinct entities?
Incorrect. - hotpuck6, on 08/12/2008, -0/+16Ah, the joys of working at a help desk.
One of my favorites was when a girl came up to me and asked me if all the computers were broken.
I gave her a funny look, told her no, and then she replies: "oh, cause i keep moving the mouse and nothing happens"
It was completely beyond this girls power of thought to try the power button. - NecroSexy, on 08/12/2008, -0/+15Look at the browser!
- BlackJackJester, on 08/12/2008, -1/+16This almost qualifies for "1985 called, they want their FAQ back"
- andymci, on 08/12/2008, -0/+15I don't think that statement works when the image is a screenshot of said "interwebs".
- waluigi14, on 08/12/2008, -0/+14Besides turning on "stickykeys" or whatever that crap is that turns on if you press shift five times.
