I rather like that, especially combined with a bit of "Oh I wouldn't know, my grandson set it up for me"  _________________jonbwfc's law: "In any forum thread someone will, no matter what the subject, mention Firefly." When you're feeling too silly for x404, youRwired.net

I was actually pondering another response - “Yes, my computer IS doing bad things. That’s because it’s part of the Anonymous bot net".

Got another one today - this time from "PC Support Department". When they said that my computer was sending out signals from viruses, I asked the person which one it was. After a bit of mental leapfrog, I was told that it was the network doing the deeds.
I just told her that I thought it was rot, and that I wasn’t interested and hung up.

Heather, I've just realised to what use you can put your old PB G3 Me? I might have to break out the Spectrum 128k. Oh just imagine how long I could chortle on that one. "What's that you say? Turn it on and wait for it boot? It's booted. Yes I know it's really quick..."  _________________Jim

I was thinking the same thing. I wonder how long it'd be before they'd ask : "What does it say on the box?" "Sinclair and ZX Spectrum" "..." "Does the 128k bit mean anything"?"
