You may NOT call up and preface the call by saying "And I'm a pretty tech-savy person so I know what's going on here" and then just moments later say "No, see, the AOL Instant Messenger and my Outlook Express don't use the *internet* to send and receive messages, they use something else so I KNOW it's something wrong with the Comcast Internet and not my computer".
