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

This woman

>>The sales person told her that they would deliver the computer, set

>>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

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.
