Return Of Therapeutic Letter Writing,,,

Dear New Roommate,
Ok, so now that we've worked out the great issue of leaving my toothbrush on the counter, what say we tackle a few more issues? Like stop messing with my computer. Until I get my hands on an ethernet cable more than 6 inches long, it's gonna have to stay in the dining room. You've got your own computer, stop changing my homepage to the most annoying sites you can find.

Also, I like my sleep. I don't get enough. Yes, I know I'm kinda dumb like that, but I'd appreciate if you guys wouldn't contribute so much to my lack of sleep. Yes, I'm all nice and complacent and half asleep when you wake me up in the middle of the night with all your guitar playing and instant messaging- don't think I won't kick your ass.

Oh, and learn which door opens into *your* room, k? (Hint: yours is straight ahead, not to the side)

Much Appreciate!
Fuego

You Wanna WHAT?

Scary-happy chick calls up at work today....just got a brand new 15" powerbook. 10.3 installed, updated to 10.3.2. Discovered that she can't slap 10.2 on it to dual boot.

Happy chick- So she calls me up "Hi, I was hoping you could help me uninstall the firmware for 10.3.2 from my Powerbook. I need to be able to run 10.2 and the firmware is for 10.3, and the firmware changes the hardware."

Me- "Uh...that's an...interneting question. I'm going to have to check on that."
Me- to Debby, who shares my cube and desk space, and is cranky as hell today "No doubt this is beyond scope of support...WAY beyond....but...you...can't...uninstall firmware, can you?"

Debby- "Uh, I don't really think so"

Me to Happy Chick- "Uh yeah, I'm gonna have to say that I've never even heard of uninstalling the firmware and even if it's possible, I can't really help you with it."

Happy chick- "Oh there has to be someone there who can help me! I need it for my software. I'm confident that there's someone in your place who knows. Who's the guru, can I talk to them? I know you have someone there! I have confidence in Apple!"

Me- "Yeah, uh sure, I can let you talk to someone else. Just a minute..."
In my mind "They're gonna tell you the same thing I just told you"

Tier 2- "She wants to what? Yeah, that's not really something that you can do. Wants to talk to someone else? Yeah, sure. This could be amusing."

Uninstall firmware? Umkay...

Don't even get me started on the dude who insisted that Safari was an ISP and if AOL wasn't working, he should still be able to just open Safari and surf.
