"I've been working on computers for 16 years."
 

So why THE FUCK are you calling us for help setting up your fucking DIALUP?!!!!

Maybe he's been throwing them away for 16 years. o:

hes been dusting them for 16 yrs

He sits on the computer while he works? Hence the working ON computers for 16 years:dunno:

gotta recycle them :p

because he may have never had a dial up connection?

porn surfing doesnt count (and before the net galaga on a c64 doesnt count either)

in 16 years? doubtful. especially when he was running through all the settings and rattling off random nonsense about each one that made absolutely no sense.

I hear what you're saying with him/her being confused by basic things but remember most companies have always had LANs... whether it was Token ring/TX/CX

beyond that some people never had dial-up at home... I know I only had dial up for 8 months in my lifetime but I've been working with computers for well more than half my life.

If he's asking about dialup, he's probably been on the same computer for 16 years :o
