Well, as a homeopath, I can tell you he's administering the dose incorrectly. ::snerk::

Actually, Dilbert covered something very similar a number of years ago: "Dogbert's Holistic Technical Support". User rings to say there's something wrong with the CD drive. Dogbert recommends stuffing it with bark - it'll totally fix it. User asks if bark is ok for CD drives. Dogbert says "Don't worry, it's totally natural."

I wish I could find copies of those cartoons - there were three of them.

Love the last bit, apparently washing the RAM...I recommend at least a 20% solution of hydrochloric acid for best results, however.

He ain't washing it. It's a snippet from next week's show, where he'll teach you how to make your computer more powerful by diluting it.

The area of the dorms I will be in this year decorated their Christmas tree last year with various computer detritus, with a 486 mobo as the crowning decoration on the tip of the tree.

If fixing computers worked that way, damn I'd be making easy money. :P

Heh. That's pretty funny.

Personally, I prefer both the "laying of hands" and the "chicken bone dice over the schematics" varieties of voodoo... :)
