I work in a tech support call center. Today I had the most amusing set of
calls. This woman calls me up and says that she wants to clean up the
appearance of her hard drive by throwing away files. She began to ask what
files she could throw away. She went through a list. Can I throw read me
files away? NO! I said. You need to read those. Yada Yada Yada...

Since this is a very busy call center I tell her that she really needs to
determine what she can keep and what she can trash. I then hang up. She
calls me 10 minutes later. My computer stoped working. (She is on a Mac)
I threw away my system folder.

I just sank in my chair.

I doubt it was that. It stoped working because it was a Mac.

system.

I'll have to pass this one on to my friend who claims the Mac is The
Foolproof Computer. Don't they require a brain now-a-days when selling
'puters?
