A woman customer called the Canon help desk with a problem with her printer.

And last but not least...

Tech support: "Okay Bob, let's press the control and escape keys at the same time. That brings up a task list in the middle of the screen. Now type the letter "P" to bring up the Program Manager."

Tech support:  "P".....on your keyboard, Bob.
