I used to work at a small local ISP and I got this call once:

"Just about all the websites I visit now can't be displayed - it used to work fine, is something wrong with your servers?"

Guy has a 386, 8MBs of RAM, Windows 3.1, Internet Explorer 1 or 2.something or other...

What I want to know is - how the heck was he able to get online in the first place???!!! And why didn't he start having problems a while back?

And he SWEARED the problem was on OUR Servers, not his computer!
He huffed off and said he was switching to Earthlink... yeah... right... good luck and good riddance! He's Earthlink's problem now! heh
