i think it's a big fat lie.
although you will have been threatened with legal action for something even more preposterous i'm sure :D
depressing, but this was true...
The customer felt that it was some sort of conspiracy and was going to sue us and Microsoft. Sent us all sorts of threatening letters and faxes, but we sent them to a solicitor and he said they were the work of a mind that was a 'bit broken'
he said they were the work of a mind that was a 'bit broken'
Lol!!!
Sent us all sorts of threatening letters and faxes
All written in 72pt font? :D
"A bit broken" - classic. Nice to see I was right, let lady excel smile on me!

you are joking right?
I think Aria should release an Ebook.... "The highs, lows and crazies of the PC Component industry!"
you are joking right?
nope... i think the not being able to read the CoA was the final straw and something went snap. was an odd few days.
hehe, great stuff. Sort of reminds me of when i was an Operator ingame and after watching a particular, previously multi-warned griefer have his way with a couple of noobs, we had him and every account he paid for through his CC's not only banned, but deleted and therefore prevented from ever being transferred with everyone else over to a new worldwide server.
He sent letter after letter threatening the company but like this, it never came to anything.
Some people !
Man you have to be so careful with these things though.
A place I used to work mistook a tea stained letter for a s*** stained letter and called the police on an old woman. Good times :-/
ok, got the list together... stand by..
Excel has chosen....
Its got to be true, I'm sure one of the 'ambulance chasing lawyers' would take the case.
:D
Nice one mate, well done :)
