Last night I literally spent three hours on the phone with a friend trying to get his new Zune connected and set up on his computer. Me being the tech guy that everyone goes to when in need was pretty much the only one who was going to help out, that and I've been on his case to get a Zune so I felt obligated to help get it set up. It should have been easy yet we fought an annoying problem in that many of the words next to buttons were simply not there! Odd as it was the trouble was most prominent in the fact that when he was typing in his username and password to sign in to Zune those words were also not showing up! Finally after hours of troubleshooting he hit the back space as many times as he possibly could and finally got signed in.
It was one of those situations that worked out since there was a happy ending, sure the text is still missing and hopefully he'll never have to type in his password again but for the time being he's enjoying his new Zune.
The problem for me is that I'm also the tech guy at work and tomorrow I've got an issue waiting for me to deal with. A coworker's email is acting up, can't wait till morning!
