That's quite a good one! Almost beats my mate's problem he had... He used to work on a support line for a company which had just published his program - he was on hand so he could offer users expert advice on a system which he had written. Anyway, one user called up who was having a problem with the installation procedure. User:"I'm having trouble getting my software to work." Mate:"Right, well what exactly is the problem...." User:"I don't know where to put this CD in..." Mate:"Sorry ? What do you mean you don't know where to put it in?" User:"I can't see a slot for it to go into on the PC!" Mate:"Oh, well you just find the button below the CD drive, and a tray will come out to collect the CD. Then you just put in the CD, press the button, and do what the computer tells you to." User: "What CD player?" Mate:"You mean you don't have a CD drive! What HAVE you got." User:"Um, a floppy disc drive, a power switch and a coffee holder..." Mate:"A coffee holder?" User:"Yeah, it works like the CD thing you were on about. I press a button, the tray comes out and I put my Coffee cup on there" Sad, but true! Cheers all, Tones 8) PS: Got my new PC!! Anyone with Half-life I'll see you on the 'net. I'm called Belcanto if you see me!!
