India sounding voice on the phone. "Hell this is from Morris Electric. I wonder if you can help me?



"I rather doubt it. Have you considered calling suicide prevention, or a psychiatrist?"



Pardon me? Uh? (line goes dead)



I meant 'untruthful' on the the ground!

Yes, dear I caught that, sweetie.

Got the Microsoft phone call a few months ago. I asked which version of Windows I was running. I figured that if they knew I had a virus that was threatening the entire computing world they would at least know that?

They answered "Its Windows"!

I said "OK, which version"?

They answered "Its Windows!

I replied "But which version of Windows"?

They answered ... "Its Windows"!

They finally hung up when I said how do you know I am not running Linux?

I wasn't at the time but ...

LOL,

John

About Y2K, I got a lot of calls about protecting my computer. About that time,I had an old Xerox 860 which had A and B drives, and no C drive. I had a lot of fun wiht the phone drones.
