"What could possibly go wrong?" is a question many of us have learned to avoid asking, especially at work. And it's no different for tech support folk.
These girls and guys are trained to handle all sorts of issues, from minor glitches to massive malfunctions, and they often carry out their duties by figuring out the problem, finding a solution, and then fixing or replacing it. But every now and again, the tech gurus come face-to-face with the stuff nightmares are made of.
