DOGBERT, I NEED YOU TO TRAIN ASOK TO FILL IN FOR YOU ON TECH SUPPORT.

THE GOAL OF TECH SUPPORT IS TO CONVINCE THE CALLER THE PROBLEM IS ON THEIR END.

I DO THIS BY RECOMMENDING INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT THINGS FOR THEM TO TRY.

EVENTUALLY, THEY GIVE UP.

WATCH AND LEARN UH-HUH... UH-HUH...

TRY REBOOTING YOUR COMPUTER.

NOW TRY IT AGAIN WHILE HOLDING CONTROL-ESCAPE- SPACE BAR-DELETE FOR EXACTLY 27.3 SECONDS.

NO LUCK? TRY LOOKING AT YOUR COMPUTER'S BINARY CODE TO FIND ANY ZEROS AND ONES THAT ARE OUT OF ORDER.

AAAND HE'S GONE.

GENIUS!
