Overheard on IRC: Computer Support

Read this today on #lopsa

<kcb> OK, so if you want to know where all your support dollars for computer companies go?..
* kcb has a server. Server started logging a “CPU1 VTT” error the other day.
<kcb> $vendor recommended “reseat the cpu”.
* kcb told vendor “OK, send me some thermal compound, ok?” to which vendor said… sure.

<kcb> So, two – not one, but TWO separate boxes arrive just now. (each box about the size of a large book).
<kcb> Each box has two flat chunks of foam padding.
<kcb> In one box: Thermal compound. Small tube/syringe thing.
<kcb> Anyone want to take a guess at to what was in the other box??
<dbronder> Instructions.
* kcb hands dbronder a cookie.
