I got a call yesterday from a woman who owns a PC from The Company Wich Must Not Be Named. Asked for a service tag or express service code. She asks, "Do *coughGateway*coughs have service codes?" The situation being, she purchased a *coughGatewaycough*, didn't like the OS, so decided to use the OS reinstall CD from her TCWMNBN to upgrade to XP. Effed it up to hell and gone. Called Microsoft, Microsft told her to call TCWMNBN. In the words of the immortal Jon Stewart, "Whaaaa?"
