I came across this. Read and wish your PC support was done by someone else (bear in mind I've been involved with customer support since 1985)

You don't have to deal with the fuckwit customers who write like that though, and still expect you to fix their PCs when they can't find the Start button because there's too many boxes which say "EXPLORER has caused an error in <unknown>" on them, when actually, you're there to support their broadband connection and not their cruddy PC World shitepile of a "computer"! Go back to fucking PC World, you stupid, idiotic, single-celled fuckwits!

Had a rebuild in last week. 'NTL won't support it'. Fair enough. Turns out it's three pikey OS upgrades on a base e-machine box (cheap SHIT) and suddenly doesn't have the antivirus software I installed eight months (and two OS's) ago.

But I contravened the first rule of support shortly after they got this machine. Turned out they wanted a CD writer. Sight-unseen, I decided to pick up a cheapy and fit it in my spare time.
So I get a drive. Went to fit the bloody thing. While I started to fit it I noticed the 'CD-Recordable' flash on their existing drive. Shit.
While trying to ascertain why they wanted an *additional* cd-burner, the guy paying for it pointed me to his HAPPY BABY ORANG-UTAN WATERMELONTARD of a son who told me exactly why it was not a burner.
He had some difficulty fifteen minutes later when I allowed him to browse his my docs folder from a laptop though...

Level 2 isn't so much about backing up level 1, but more about having logins for things that they wouldn't dare let level 1 near.

and most excitingly guffaw-making, but I'd just like to break up the laughs for a moment by saying:
Stop all the clocks, Cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone.
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.
Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead,
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.
He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong.
The stars are not wanted now: put out every one;
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood.
For nothing now can ever come to any good.
My apologies. Normal service will now be resumed.
/Four Weddings on S4C, and easily my favourite poem ever.

though my letter would likely be littered with bile and hatred for the paper, as opposed to the views they espouse
