> "Okay, here it is."

>
> "I can't reach."
>
> "Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is?"
>
> "No."
>

> "Dark?"

>
>"Well, turn on the office light then."
>
>"I can't."
>
>"No? Why not?"

I had a customer ring me up a few weeks back and tell me "The internet has stopped working on my PC".

I only support his email account and web site, both of which were working. What can you tell a guy like that? c7u8

Tell him every now and then the internet has to be stopped to allow all the people in the far flung places with slower computers to catch up! Sounds like he'll probably believe it :}
