The tech support problem dates back to long before
the industrial  revolution, when primitive tribesmen
beat out a rhythm on drums to communicate:
               
Tech Support: This Fire Help. Me Groog.
               
User: Me Lorto. Help. Fire not work.
               
Tech Support: You have flint and stone?
               
User: Ugh.
               
Tech Support: You hit them together?
               
User: Ugh.
               
Tech Support: What happen?
               
User: Fire not work.
               
Tech Support: (sigh) Make spark?
            
User: No spark. No fire. Me confused. Fire work yesterday.
               
Tech Support: *sigh* You change rock?
               
User: I change nothing.

User: Me make one change. Stone hot so
me soak in stream so stone not burn Lorto hand. Small change. Shouldn't
keep Lorto from make fire.
               
Tech Support: *Grabs club and goes to Lorto's cave*
