Dave: This is Dave.
Salesperson: Hi Dave, hey I jsut got this email and I think it might be a spam or virus or something.
Dave: Can you tell me the subject or what it says?
Salesperson: It is from UPS saying that the package I sent couldn't be delivered. There is one of those paperclip things too, it says I can open it to find out where the package is. I dont think it is really from UPS though because I haven't shipped anything out.
Dave: You're right it most likely a virus that has been going around. It must have slipped through the filter. Do me a favor and copy it to the public Spam folder. I'll grab it from there and teach it to the filter.
Salesperson: uhhh, I can do that, but I opened it already and now my computer is acting funny.
Dave: .... sigh... You opened it? Even though you knew you hadn't shipped anything out?
Salesperson: Well yes, I thought it might have been something important. It wont let me do anything now, it keeps saying there is a virus and do I want to clean it or something. I keep clicking yes -
Dave: Stop!
Salesperson: <clicking noises in background> [distracted sounding] ahh, ok, but if it will take care of this then maybe you wont have to come over.
Dave: Those pop ups are part of the virus, your making it worse. I'll be right there...
Salesperson: Maybe if I reboot -
Dave: No! I'm on my way right now

By the time I got there he had rebooted and was logging in again....


sigh.........

On another email related note, we have a customer service person here who calls you every time he sends you an email, just to let you know he sent it and to make sure you got it It would be more cute than irritating if it weren't for the fact that he insists on summarizing the email for you in the phone call. Yes, he is "older".

Older folks have an out; they didn't grow up with computers. The very young have an out; they can be excused on grounds of inexperience. The stupid are on their own!
