A valuable lesson
If my customer has learned just one thing today, here is the lesson I hope she has learned:
When the shifty-looking kid who lives two trailers down from you offers to sell you a Lap-Top Computer out of the trunk of his Chevy Nova for $25, you should say NO!
But if you *do* say to yourself "My, what a wonderful bargain for what I am sure is neither stolen nor crap merchandise", do not be suprised when the Police come by the next day and confiscate said Lap-Top Computer as evidence before you can even activate your Comcast Self-Install Kit for your high-speed internet.
And finally, if you should get that Lap-Top Computer back from the Police after a few months and for some reason it doesn't want to start up at all, you should know that this is NOT the fault of your Internet Service Provider.
