[Thomas Charron]

  I figured you all might find this humorous.  Fun with out of the
country customer support:

 And these messages are obviously being sent from the past.
Congratulations on creating the worlds first email time machine.  Now,
could you forward the time machine back to present day, and tell me
why over 8 weeks ago you said 8 weeks, then 4 weeks later, said 6-8
weeks, then 4 weeks after THAT, said 4-6 weeks.  Based on this sort of
math, I can assume that 4 weeks from now, I shall be told 2-4 weeks.
Another month later, 1-2 weeks, a month after that, 2-4 days.  Yet
another month, 1-2 days.  A month later, 6-12 hours, a month later,
3-6 hours, another month, 1-3 hours.

 So basically what you are saying is that 8 months from now, I should
receive my free upgrade copy of Windows Vista 'any minute now'.
