1224597 2011-08-20 03:30:00 Haha, I just had an indian female on the phone telling me my computer had downloaded junk files! I strung her along for a bit of fun.
She then told me to press the flag key + R. I said I couldn't find a flag key anywhere and she said "what kind of keyboard do you have?" I told her it was a laptop.
I said I was looking very hard to find it and then told her about what some of the keys had on them.
She said, what windows do you have? I said three quite big ones and two smaller ones (in my living room)
No, no she said, on your computer,what windows are on your computer! I think she was getting a little annoyed.
She then said for me to press the windows key, and I told her that I didn't have one, but that I did have a key with an Apple on it.

She hung up then and spoiled my fun!

LL :lol:

Apart from the fact that I boot into XP installed on my MacBook Pro, that gets them rather confused, Got me put on to a "technician" hahaha.
What a laugh.

I was put on to a "Professional Microsoft Certified Technician" also because my windows 'wasnt working' and run was 'missing from start'.

It's lol when they found they have just wasted their money and hang up.
