Re: Presario 5000 QuickRestore error 50:4 (or whatever the hell it was)

You did this on purpose.

You did. The fix for the error in question involves setting and releasing Caps Lock and Num Lock at very precise moments. That is no typo in the code. Putting the user through a dance like that requires forethought.

I can just see your programmers in some smoke-filled back room somewhere passing a big old Marley around and thinking about how they're going to fuck with the end users next.

Eat me.

Love and kisses,

On the Bus

[rhonan.livejournal.com]

I recognized you on the bus
by your voice.
I'd called you earlier
to solve your problem.
I delayed my lunch, again,
to help someone.
And when I had done
all that I could,
I paged a field tech to your aid.
Another lunch was missed
in answering the call.
And when he finally caught up with you,
while you were at your desk,
he found the network cable I'd had you check,
neatly coiled b'neith the table,
connected only to air
And here I now sit,
frustrated and weary,
as you bitch to your friend how long we took,
to solve your 'simple' problem.
