The tech support problem dates back to long before the industrial
revolution, when primitive tribesmen beat out rhythms on drums to
communicate:

Boom-diddy-boom: Help!

Wham-boom-thwak: Me Groog.  How help?

Boom-diddy-boom: Me Lorto. Fire not work!

Wham-boom-thwak: You have flint and stone?

Boom-diddy-boom: Ugh

Wham-boom-thwak: You hit together?

Boom-diddy-boom: Ugh

Wham-boom-thwak: What happen?

Boom-diddy-boom: Fire not work

Wham-boom-thwak: Make spark?

Boom-diddy-boom: No spark, no fire, me confused.  Fire work yesterday...

Wham-boom-thwak: *sigh* You change rock?

Boom-diddy-boom: Change nothing.

Wham-boom-thwak: You sure?

Boom-diddy-boom: Change nothing.

Wham-boom-thwak: Not change anything?

Boom-diddy-boom: Make one tiny change. Stone hot so me soak in stream so
                 stone not burn Lorto hand. Small change, should not keep
                 Lorto from make fire.

Wham-boom-thwak: *Grabs club and goes to Lorto's cave*

*Wham*Wham*WHAM*WHAM*
