Amongst my favourites:
I was just talking to a user who had been having problems with her machine — it was losing its settings every time she turned it on.

  • Her: “I asked my boyfriend about it. He knows about computers, and he said it sounds like it might need a new sea monster battery.”
    It took me a while to figure out what she meant.

    (It was a CMOS battery, if you didn’t get that)
