  • From the mouths of babes

    Dad, excited to see Tommy calling from college: "Hello!"
    Nothing
    Dad: "Hello?"
    background noise
    Dad: "Tommy, you there?"
    Tommy: "Tech support question."
    Dad, of course, why else would family call me: "What is it?"
    Tommy: "My friend’s computer boots but goes to a blue screen before getting into Windows."
    Dad: "Does he have a warranty with someone?"
    Tommy: "BestBuy but the nearest one is in Knoxville."
    Dad: "Then he needs to find a way to get to Knoxville."
    Dad: "Okay. Can you boot into safe mode?"
    Tommy: "Same thing happens."
    Dad: "Is this a desktop or a laptop?"
    Tommy: "A laptop."
    Dad: "Has this computer been dropped?"
    Tommy: "Well, yeah."
    Dad: "Go to BestBuy."
