Be thankful that I don't work for M$ answering their phone calls.               KW> Yeah, those M$ user community "experts" drive me crazy --        KW> they're basically free script readers.              Maybe MS is hiring those folks who call me on the telephone and say       that they are calling from Microsoft and learned that my computer is       causing some kind of problem.              A lady named Anna called me the other day and paused when I answered       the phone after hearing me say: "Smile Jesus Loves You!" when I       answered it.              When she started telling me she was calling from Microsoft,       I interrupted her and told her to Read Her Bible and to       "Please take me off of Your calling List.".              She paused like she wanted someone where she was to tell her what to do       next, and then started repeating her script again, and I repeated what       I said the last time to her.              Another pause for a few seconds and she hung up. Finally!!!!!!!              I'm not smart enuf to lead those script readers on and on and on as       I've seen done on some videos.                     ...
