Re: Jokes doing "the rounds"
My wife got one and asked then to call back later as she did not know about computers. they did???
to same story but I said that the computer was not on ad she told me to turn it on (it was but they don't know that) so after about 20 minutes she asked if it was on I said no the little blue thing is going round and round. she said that was a very bad virus and I need to press this and that etc but I said my V-tec challenger early learning one didn't have some of the buttons it was about 40 minutes in all from start to them hanging up.
I really like those calls and can have some time passing fun with the Indian or Asian person on the other end I have even gone through several things but then said is my mac book the same as your window thing -- hang up

Re: Jokes doing "the rounds"
Have been trying to find the link I had for a speeding notification where you just put a cars notification and an email address and it sent a speeding notice to the email address.
I did my daughter who when she got the email she flipped her lid as SHE did not drive down the road in question but blamed her partner. There were a lot of unrepeatable words going round (some I never knew my daughter knew)
The registered owner being responsible and it took days before she spoke to me when she found out it was a prank.
Took her partner some time to convince her that speeding fines do not come via email

Re: Jokes doing "the rounds"
Some visitors to Skye went to a local pub for a pub lunch. There was an old gentleman sitting alone in the bar, muttering in Gaelic. They asked the barman what the problem was. He replied that there was not really a problem, Cailean was just suffering from dampened spirits. We, being nosey, asked what had happened. He replied " as a gesture of friendliness, a Sassenach had bought him a dram, then had put water in it."

Re: Jokes doing "the rounds"
“A Poem by an Old Timer” (and, before you ask, I did NOT write this - it was sent to me by ANON!)
A computer was something on TV
From a science fiction show of note.
A window was something you hated to clean,
And ram was the cousin of a goat.
Meg was the name of my girlfriend,
And gig was a job for the nights.
Now they all mean different things,
And that really mega bytes.
An application was for employment.
A program was a TV show.
A cursor used profanity.
A keyboard was a piano.
Memory was something that you lost with age.
A CD was a bank account.
And if you had a 3 inch floppy,
You hoped nobody found out.
Compress was something you did to the garbage,
Not something you did to a file,
And if you unzipped anything in public
You'd be in jail for a while.
Log on was adding wood to the fire.
Hard drive was a long trip on the road.
A mouse pad was where a mouse lived,
And a backup happened to your commode.
Cut you did with a pocket knife.
Paste you did with glue.
A web was a spider's home,
And a virus was the flu.
I guess I'll stick to my pen and paper,
And the memory in my head.
I hear nobody's been killed in a computer crash,
But when it happens they wish they were dead!

Re: Jokes doing "the rounds"
If it was sent to you by 'ANON' then how can they be anonymous as you must know them. 
Then again, maybe their name is Anon.

Re: Jokes doing "the rounds"
It was posted on to me by someone who ended their email “Anon”. Whether I know them or not is irrelevant. And I know so many people - they all begin to merge into one! 
If they wish to remain “Anon” - then so be it!
