Hi Guys,
May 26,
I am back to my old bloodsucking ways. Got some interesting experiences to tell you but before that got to admit a mistake. Of late I had become a bit grumpy and forgot to enjoy a joke. When such feelings persists for more durations than is warranted you do stupid things. The last mail that you guys got from me is one good example. I made a mistake and I apologise to each one of you. Now that I am back to my bloodsucking ways let me consider the matter closed.
One good after effect of boring mail that I sent is that more followed. That was indeed a good job by all you guys. Keep it up and if you dont mind then I propose the establishment of a egroup like structure. I thought of many names. Kundifans is a great name. If the non CVS guys find it a bit esoteric then they are not at fault. I would not be able to go into the etymology of the word since its a matter of great blah blah . . .
Anyway with full regards to the transparancy principle i invite more suggestion from the motley crowd of anemics(Isn't this good). If anyone of you can think of something better and non-controversial then nothing better.
Then have been having an very interesting mix of time. First of all let me tell you with pride that I have done something amazing. I broke a computer over phone. Like it??
It so happens that dell has some amazing machine. It requires regular calls to the tech support and then the components are removable. I mean you can just remove the cd drive, floppy drives, rams and harddisks out of the laptops and then keep it in a safe place. So there was this poor fellow whose time was up and had to call up the tech support. His stars were worse than usual so he landed up in my hands. He felt noises coming out of the machine. And the idiot felt that I could fix it up. And fix the noise I did.
So with all honest intentions I began the process of troubleshooting. Following the principle of noise troubleshooting i had him remove all the removable components. Then I came to cdrom. I clearly told him what to do. But the idiot won't understand. So followed our efforts to get the cdrom out of the $3000 machine.
Me: you see the latch under the drive
He: Ya
Me: press it
He: Ya
Me: Done
He: Ya
Me: Now pull the drive out.
He: Ya
Me: Done?
He: Na
Me: why?
He: Its difficult.
Me: Common dont be afraid. Its kids stuff.
He: Ya??
Me: Yes indeed.
He: Ok if you insist.
Me: Ya man jus go ahead.
He: I am pulling it out
Me: great
He: I am pulling it harder
Me: Great work man
He: Oh! are you sure it is childs play
Me: Yup man Jus go ahead. You can do it
.He: NOW I get it out.
Me: Great.
BOOOOOOOOOM
Me: what was that.
He: The CD Rom
Me: what happened to the CD Rom
He: Its in my hands
Me: wow that looks great.
He: but the CD Rom doesn't.
At that instance the einstein in me flashed and I looked at the system pictures. Then I realised that the life is never certain. Even your removable drives can turn out to be fixed optical drives embedded into the system.
