I Can Fix This PC, Boss, But I'll Need To Play Games For Hours To Do It

Loyal Wingman has fond memories of memory register exceptions
The working week is no game, which is why The Register eases readers into the weekend with a fresh instalment of On Call - our weekly reader-contribute tales recalling the lighter side of tech support.
This week, meet a reader we'll Regomize as "Dan" who told us of his first gig in tech: working in the repair department of a computer shop as he slogged his way through college.
"Much of the work was humdrum," he told On Call - stuff like replacing hard drives, installing new software, or telling the customer that her mouse did not have a "dust cover" - it was packaged in a plastic bag.
