What a picture's worth

Totally off the record... While working as a support
specialist for a computer sales outlet, customers who
had my business card sometimes looked me up in the
phone book and called me at home. One such lady called
me frantically at 1:00 am to please get her report to
print since is was needed urgently at a 9:00 am, for a
conference, 2 hours drive from home.
She offered a large cash reward for success and I was
off to her high mountain hideaway home to affect the
rescue.
The problem was solved within two minutes of my
arrival, and the reward was cheerfully paid, but the
home décor was very unusual. My customer proudly
announced that she was a witch and showed off her
regalia. I left promptly and arrived home for an hours
sleep before work.
Three weeks later I received another frantic call at
about 1:30 am. A different problem was quickly fixed
but as I rose from the workstation, a camera flash
blinded me. My satisfied customer explained that I
obviously had a great measure of power over machines
and that the next time her computer rebelled, she
would simply threaten it with my picture.
She was certain that would make it obey and I didn't
wish to disagree with her on a lonely mountain in the
wee hours of the morning.
The strange thing is I never heard from her again!
