Canucks v tech service


A Canadian customer was calling to find out if there was a faster way 
to trigger menu commands than mousing up to the menus.

Agent: Certainly, sir. There are keyboard shortcuts for many of those 
commands. For example, suppose you want to trigger the Select All 
commandÂ…

Caller: Yes, I use that one all the time! How do I do it?

Agent: Well, you just press Control-A.

Caller (after a pause): Well, that's not working for me.

Agent: Do you have a text document open in front of you?

Caller: Yes, I sure do.

Agent: OK, now press Control-A.

Caller: I am, but nothing happens.

Agent: The text isn't highlighted?

Caller: No, there's no change at all.

Agent: That's odd. If you press Control-A, the whole document should 
be highlighted. Try it again. Press Control-A. Tell me exactly what's 
happening.

Caller (nearing his Canadian breaking point): Listen. I'm pressing 
Control, eh? And nothing's happening, eh?
