Here’s a quirky, true-ish story from the early 2000s tech support trenches:

When the driver finished installing, the little wizard bowed, vanished, and never returned. She thought he’d completed his sacred duty and departed to another machine in need.

Silence.

“He was small,” she said. “Pointy hat. Blue robe. He kept saying ‘Searching for best driver…’”

The support agent asked calmly, “Did you click ‘Finish’ or ‘Cancel’?”

Long pause.
