The prompt to “press any key to continue” during computer setup is often misinterpreted, leading to jokes about users searching for a nonexistent “any key” and calling tech support for help.
Sometimes during software installation or hardware setup, the computer user is prompted to “press any key to continue”. Misinterpretation of this instruction has become a big joke among computer experts. Technicians like to imagine a user looking for “any key” on the keyboard. There are a few keys on the keyboard that no one seems to use as a ‘scroll lock’, so the presence of an ‘any key’ seems at least remotely plausible. The user searches around, checking each key twice, but when he comes up empty handed, he calls tech support and asks “where’s the key?” While such a call has undoubtedly occurred, hopefully it’s not too common!
