Oh. These aren't the kind of tech support calls you get from your parents?
How about this one?
"I managed to get three of the donated computers working in the school library. Computers tend to die here (in Belize). Sometimes my laptop just switches off, but if I let it cool down for a while, it will usually restart. Next month we are supposed to get internet access in the village, but who knows?"
No?

No I get the really vague ones like I dont know what happened I clicked this button and all my stuff vanished, Tell me where it went. What does reformatting drive mean and why is there a progression bar counting up? Am I supposed to let it finish? I just wanted to email pics of the new dog!
