Q. What are Microsoft employees most afraid of, not counting losing their
stock options?
A. Buying a computer for a close relative.

Why? Because, from then on, they will be providing endless hours of tech
support to their Mom and Dad on the phone.
Pretty funny, eh? It's true.

... sure enough, on my to-do list for this week is:
1. fix mail setup for Father-in-law's computer
2. reinstall Win98 on Juliet's computer to see if that will stop it from
crashing
