Sometimes the stupid just get's to me



Me: "Thank you for calling $company. How can I help?"
Luser: The OS disk says it can't install on my machine.
Me: Ok, ... $machine id?
Luser: I don't have one.
Me: it's a sticker on the top or side of the tower.
Luser: I don't have a machine from $company.
Me: But you called $company, but you don't have one of our machines?
Luser: That's right, I bought your reinstall xp cd off ebay.

And the legal team I am sure they would love to have a talk with both people involved in that transaction.

Nice.

We generally do not distribute our media outside of the company. Besides, the only thing that's likely to do that little act would be a boot disc, which has pretty much nothing useful on it.
