Technical support, my )(*^@)&!^(*!^@$*#@$!#)!$#.

[bktheirregular]

I am now into my third - make that fifth - no, seventh - call to Dell customer support.

I have been on hold for forty-five minute, and every three minutes I get a message saying that "our technicians are aware of your call and are working very quickly to answer your call. The next technician will be with you momentarily."

It's either deal with Dell or guess as to which bits need to be installed and which will cause a disaster.

I have now been working on this laptop for five hours straight.

Given that, and the lateness of the hour, I have the following announcement to make:

For the next 36 to 48 hours, if anybody on the face of the earth wants a favor of me which requires extreme effort, I strongly recommend one of two things:

a) Bribery which includes ALL of the following: a well-paying job, without claims on souls or firstborn; the location somewhere on the open market of a 1989 Dodge Daytona Shelby with the T-top glass roof, five on the floor with the intercooled turbo, and the electronic dash reminiscent of Star Wars, for sale at a bargain price; and an indecent proposal from Miss March 2001;

or, failing that:

b) Make your peace with whatever gods you believe in.

Chocolate will do no good. Coffee will be thrown. And any pointy-haired-boss-speak platitudes will be taken down, reprinted in large type on sheepskin, and rammed back down the speaker's throat with a slug of Victory Gin as a chaser.

I hope I've made my position clear?
