Nameless tech support person over at the local ISP, I'm sorry. I tried and tried to talk this guy into going home and calling you but he said he didn't believe in phones anymore. I tried to explain that the problem he was having with his email was 1) Something we couldn't fix as it is a POP3 problem and 2) Something you could fix but that he needed to be at home in front of his computer. I'm sorry that you are going to have him dropping his dirty, nasty computer on your desk and demanding help.

But I'm not sorry he left here. I'm still hunting the dust bunnies that poured out.

Thank dog it's not me.

I'm frankly scared of opening up Universe's chassis to see what ebil lurks in there. Considering that the last time I opened the case to do anything was back in 2003 to install the 10/20 tape drive I have in there, I'm expecting a few dust kittens and puppies.

I should have cleaned it out when I took it down in order to move... oh well.

He might have gotten too many volts from one. Must be the stigma from electrical burns- Page 73 in the Bastard Manual if memory serves me correct.

Apology accepted.
