And on these systems, which button do you click when you want to finish, or
to shut down the PC? :-)

Hardware also presents its challenges to the unwary.  We had a DEC VT-220
terminal which was reported to have no display.  The solution - turn up the
brightness of the terminal.  Unfortunately, it is impossible to turn up the
brightness of the user.

Then there was the time when a printer was reported as faulty.  Printers work
better when they have been fed with paper.

The monitor on a Linux PC was reported as faulty.  Despite the notice on the
front of the PC telling people not to switch it off, someone had, in fact,
switched the PC off.  The individual who reported the "fault" had not checked
this.

And one person had trouble switching a monitor on.  I tried to help:

"The switch is down on the right...
No, the right...
The other right...
It's down here."
