Part of the joys of working for a small shop is supporting the software you write. We do a Live broadcast and people login and listen. They can go to chat for tech support ... that's where I come in ... *shoots brains out* The PDF link is u sed for people who don't have Java runtime ...

Read the whole thing ? I almost told this person to put their computer back in the box. I thought they were messing with me. But it?s a bit late for April fools. This fool is year round.

This almost threw me over the edge ? what you can?t see, is that after every other sentence he typed, he logged out, then back in ?

What you also cannot see ? is that he registered at 8 minutes after the program started, 7 minutes before login cutoff ? and that he input the wrong credit card number twice before registering on the 3rd try.

It's usually pretty easy ... just make sure the system stays up ... answer 1 or 2 phone calls ... and time flies ... but man that guy ... whoa boy ... my blood pressure is still high over it ...
