Microsoft Customer Support calls back 10 years later

You read the title right.  A customer worried about Y2K had placed a call to Microsoft tech support 10 years ago, but only got a call back on 1/8/08.  This is nuts!

Here’s the explanation: The customer called on 1/7/98, and the rep noted a call back for the next day.  Unfortunately, however, rather than typing 1/8/98, the rep typed 1/8/08 because ‘8’ and ‘9’ are so close together.

Here’s the blog entry by the son of the customer.  Hilarious!
