This reminds me of the time when I was switching from Win95 to WinNT. An idiot who worked for my ISP was nuking his own company's customers, including me. He finally hit me so hard that I had blue screens coming up before I could clear the previous ones. I upgraded to WinNT and within a few hours, he contacted me (via IRC) and accused me of nuking him. I told him the truth.. that I didn't do it and I didn't have the software to do it. Then I threw in the part about how I changed over to NT. Never heard another word from him. This was about 5 years ago :) Apparently, it seems that NT's natural reply to his attack was an attack of its own. I've never gotten tired of telling that story :)
