   Computer Stupidity Of The Day
I had just come across a Compaq 386 Deskpro motherboard. Since I was just getting into PCs, I thought it would be cool to wire it up for my brother. But I had no idea what the pinout for the power supply plug was, as it was non-standard. So I called up Compaq tech support.


(Me:) "I just got an old 386 Deskpro motherboard, and I wondered if I could get a pinout for the power supply plug, so I can power it up and see if it works."
(Tech Support:) "What happens when you turn it on?"
(Me:) "Ummm...nothing, I don't have a power supply for it. I need a pinout to wire up a standard power supply."
(Tech Support:) "I see. Can you get into Windows?"
