[TriLUG] Re: OT: Dial-Up ISP

[Ken Mink]

I agree, but the drone did ask. I answered truthfully before I could 
catch myself. I generally lie to the tech folks and pretend I'm using 
Windows. When they ask me to do things that are Windows specific, if I 
can't remember what the dialog box will say, I do it on my wife's Win2k 
machine and read the response from it.

My point is that I shouldn't have to lie. If I'm calling with a network 
problem, they should support the network.
