A valuable lesson

[captain_slinky]

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.

That's the first time I've heard a tech support story quite like that. Quite the attention-grabber.

Uh. Yeah.

That person is the reason con men, fencers, Mormons and vacuum retailers make a living.
