Not sure if this should be classified as a joke or not. I feel sorry for this poor woman.

This woman

>>problems later all she had to do was call their "Technical Support"
>>they would talk her through it over the phone or come back to her
>>house to find the problem.
>>The sales person asked her if she wanted to purchase 2 years in
>>house warranty, the woman said yes. A few months went by, she was
>>getting good sending and receiving mail and checking the other web
>>sites with only one call to tech support until one day she called
>>tech support.
>>
>>SUPPORT: " Hello, technical support how can I help you"
>>
>>LADY: "Last night my computer started making a lot of hissing
>>noises at me so I shut it down . Then this morning when I turned
>>it on the computer started hissing and cracking, then started
>>smoking and a bad smell, then nothing.

>>SUPPORT: I will have a technician come over first thing this
>>morning, just leave the computer just like it is so they can find
>>the problem and fix it or change it out with another computer.
>>Give me your address; phone number , and the technician will be

>>Take a look at the pictures... believe it or not!!!
I only pretend to know what I'm talking about. Heck, that's what lawyers, car mechanics, and IT professionals do everyday.

YIKES well I guess it found someplace warm to sleep. Problem seems to be she had it either in the garage or basement, and a snake can easily get in.
