Comments on: Stinking cold http://blog.geeklawyer.org/2007/01/20/stinking-cold/ A barrister gossips & rants on intellectual property law, the legal system and civil liberties.

Geeklawyer normally outgeeks tech support since most of them are merely point and click Microsoft Windows monkeys with MCSEs. Geeklawyer won't stand for them making a fool of you: it's his job.

Except because she is a girl, life carries on as normal, apart from from some extra (for once undeserved) nagging of Geeklawyer. Another factor adding to her general irritation is that she can't get her new computer to work properly. She announced in exasperated fashion that technical support is "turning her into a geek". No, came the reply... just competent. Ouch. So 10 points to technical support nil points Ruthie... Note Geeklawyer's new online chat link thingy... course if I put one of those up I'd never get any work done :-) Ruthie also now has a cold.
