Family is fuxored.

Dear Mom.

While I know you enjoy the free, 24/7 tech support that I provide, I will need to amend the agreement with the following clause:

14) Above agreement does not apply while I AM IN THE SHOWER!

Do you know how long your mom was in labor with you? If not, I suggest you not share the above sentiment with her, or you are liable to find out. :)

_My_ mom once called me at work because her NT 3.1 domain at home was not letting anyone log on, because she had managed to promote a second primary domain controller without demoting the first, and neither machine would let the other accept authentication requests. I eventually tracked down the procedure for demoting a PDC, but it was literally faster and less complicated to reinstall Windows and all her applications.

I envy people whose parents call them and ask *simple* questions, like, "why doesn't my modem work?"

Cool. I'll forward her questions to you then. :D

No problem. I'll give you the same deal I gave M.'s parents--24/7 tech support for the low low price of one first-born daughter (or the equivalent).

Hey -- I am not a low, low price!

Babe, your parents traded you for twice-a-year network troubleshooting, and still have to throw in a beer every time I go over there.
