I frequently get email from a lady that tells me her computer is not connected to the internet days after she sends it. I know this is not true because if she were not connected, she would not be able to send email and then I have to call and remind her that, she needs to call me not email me when she gets that message.

How To Tell If You Might Be a High Tech Redneck:

If your email address ends in ".over.yonder.com"
If you connect to the World Wide Web via a "Down Home Page"
If the bumper sticker on your truck says "My other computer is a laptop"
If your laptop has a sticker that says "Protected by Smith and Wesson"
If your computer is worth more than all your cars combined
If your wife said "either she or the computer had to go"...and you still
don't miss her
If you've ever used a CD-ROM as a coaster for your beer
If you ever refer to your computer as "Ole Bessy"
If your screen saver is a bitmap image of your favorite truck, tractor, or farm animal
If you start all your emails with the words "Howdy y'all"
If your spell checker knows words like "Y'all", "Yonder", and "Reckon"
If your cars sit in the yard because your garage is full of dead CPU's, Printers, Modems, and Monitors
If your belt buckle is made from a dead 3.5" Hard drive

IF THREE OR MORE APPLY then you are DEFINITELY a Hi-Tech Redneck!

probaby the most famous tech support call of all time...
A guy calls a help desk for help with his computer. The guy trying to help him asks if his computer is plugged in. The man asks "into what?" The other guy replies, "the wall." The other guy says, "My computer didn't come with a wall." The guy trying to help him says, "That's ok, we can get you through this."

Tech support : How may I help you?

Customer: I'm writing my first e-mail.

Tech support: OK, and what seems to be the problem?

Customer: Well, I have the letter 'a' in the address, but how do I get the circle around it?
