From my time as tech support, I can tell you that story is probably true

It wouldn’t shock me, honestly. I did home support in a small computer repair shop for extra cash and all the leftover parts I could carry in high school in the 90s, then I did some time at an MSP for many years in the 00s and early 10s. I heard many versions of that particular anecdote from the time I started until CD drives stopped coming standard.
