All guaranteed true.
- Taking a whopping big screenshot and sending it to support via email.
(Pretty pedestrian, I know.)
- Taking a whopping big screenshot and sending it to support via email.
On opening the screenshot it turns out to be a screenshot of a log file
opened in Wordpad.
- Sending a screenshot of a nondelivery notification they got as a
result of some email they sent.
- Reading a long error message into computer microphone. Sending the
result to support via email (using PureVoice or SpeechMail or some
such).
In that final case, the management-approved response is "I'm sorry, my
computer does not have a sound card." For the first three cases, the
management-approved response is "Please do not send large graphics files
to support." (Unfortunately "I'm sorry, my computer doesn't have a
video card" isn't too convincing.)
