Had a similar one recently... Tried to explain to a customer that ISA Modems where no longer available - and that a PCI one wouldn't fit into her fully loaded motherboard.

I could mention that I did this an experiment in 1996 and it took many weeks to make the sole handlink in existence.

Re: (OT) Stupid people
From: Justin Skists [EMAIL PROTECTED] Are you having a best of email responses section on those pages? :) I would do, but haven't really got enough material to start a dedicated section. There's also a load of emails along the lines of YS's World Of The Speccy letters section... An idea for the future, definitely. Since I've added a link bar to every page on the site, I seem to be getting more and more emails to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and also since the E-mail me page has an email form CGI thingy it means it's even easier for people to email me as they don't need to have the emailer configured on their browser - in fact, they don't even need an email account... You get all sorts though. Someone signed themself as : ---begin--- message snipped Death is the cure to all diseases, Sub Machine Gun ---end--- Sad. Very VERY sad... Nick
