And I have a two y.o. Macbook Pro...so far I've kept them on the line for 16 minutes screwing with 'em and wasting their time. I keep telling them I have an Apple laptop yet they keep trying to 'help' me. lol

Going to see how long I can amuse myself by keeping them on the line.

Oh, you could have SO much fun with that! "Open up Windows? How many? Living room, bedroom, or both?"

Thanks for the input, didn't think of that. Went for 34 minutes before I got bored with 'em.

Now when those jokers call wanting to make me a biz loan, I really string them along. When they get to asking me what I have in mind for the 'money' they're so eager to loan me I say, "Duh! Hoes and blow! We're gonna party!!!"

I load up a Windows 95 VM and let them remote in.

LOL They look all over for things (documents, pictures etc.) make registry changes etc.

I had one guy screaming at me when I started laughing and told him that he's in a useless virtual machine and that any changes made will get wiped out when I restore from a snapshot.

If I'm on the computer doing something else anyway I love wasting their time...like they're trying to do to me. Actually had one say to me recently, "Thanks for wasting my time." lol
