So today I was a bit stressed, given work and plans and paperwork, and I suppose I needed a good laugh. A friend instant messaged me and I instantly decided to start replying to him one letter at a time...
anyway... as I did this he became more convinced that his computer was having a problem and rebooted.
Here is the transcript of our conversation... it had me laughing for a good couple of minutes.
11:24:58 AM VICTIM: appalling
11:25:19 AM VICTIM: outlook just suddenlyt slowed down on me while I was writing an e-mail
11:25:30 AM VICTIM: I think it must have crashed
