timppu: Since I don't give rep points freely to any new user (just in case it is some trading scammer with many accounts who is first trying to gather some rep points to appear dependable; not talking about you of course), all I can do is to return a compliment:

tinyE, you are great! Hardly ever do I see such nice new members in this forum! Everything in you is perfect, even the avatar (looks a bit like Space Invaders? I loved that game as a kid!).

You know, if I was female, I'd love to have your kids, providing you are male. If you are not, I guess we could still be a lesbian couple and adopt some. If I didn't have the principles about not throwing around rep points like candy to new users, I'd give you at least million plusses!

Keep up the good work!

HereForTheBeer: Hahaha - tech support stories. Got a bunch but they're mostly machine-related.

My old boss took a call, though, where he asked the customer to do the machine version of "turn it off and on again". "Turn off the power to the machine, wait 30 seconds and turn it back on, try calibrating and running the machine again, and give me a call to let me know what happens."

He got a call back maybe 20 minutes later; the customer's plant manager starts cussing my boss up one side and down the other: "What the hell did you tell him to do?"
"I asked him to turn off the entire machine, turn it on again, and see if he could repeat the problem. Why do you ask?"
"Because he shut down the entire factory floor!"
"Sir, I told him to turn off the machine, not the whole building."

tinyE: Serves your boss right for giving tech advice to Homer Simpson.

tinyE: Thank You everyone.
My avatar is supposed to be a digital Cthulhu. I snagged it off another web page that I think was in German. Hope they don't come looking for me.

Navagon: Just so you know, tinyE, I really do hate you. What with all those... things... that you do.
Sometimes.

Well, okay. Maybe I don't. But rest assured I'm working on it. Is there a Random Reason To Hate Someone Generator on the internet? I mean, come on! This is the internet. There has to be one of those somewhere...

tinyE: If you can be more specific I'd be happy to change, maybe bring it down a notch; I am so not even joking.

Within reason. I'm not giving up breathing.

WBGhiro: I think you'll be perfectly dandy with just getting a sarcasm detector ;D

tinyE: Even if he was being sarcastic, which I figured he was, what I said still stands. If I had the rep and time in here most of you did I could care less, but I showed up four days ago b/c someone told me Duke3D was free, and four days later I'm still crashing on your couch, eating your food, and drinking your good scotch. I just want to make it clear that I'm totally fine with someone telling me to switch to the rot gut for a while.

tinyE: If you can be more specific I'd be happy to change, maybe bring it down a notch; I am so not even joking.

Navagon: Actually there is something you can do, but there is a small one off financial commitment on your part, but I believe it will greatly enhance your time on this and other forums on these, our internets. Simply buy one of the attached.
