(just a loooooong hug for Rosie!)

Now ... remember, these are computer geeks, so they were probably just as nervous as you!

Second ... What kind of question is "how do you remove a virus?" Do you know what virus it is? Is the user running a virus protection program at all? Which one? When did they last update it? What are the symptoms? Have they transmitted it to floppies yet? Is it a virus, or spyware?

I'l do for you what DaBear does for me ... you did your best, and now it's done.

Was he cute?

Heh...yeah. That's why I basically just said, if your antivirus software is up to date, it may find it and clean it...if not, and you know what it is, there are generally removal tips on antivirus sites or geek boards (only I didn't say geek...maybe shoulda. ;-), and I finished off by saying, "In other words, it depends." What else could I say?

Yeah, I think we were all pretty nervous. It just bugs me that there really wasn't much of a chance to talk. I mean...I asked the questions that occurred to me right off and confessed to being happier being an on-the-spot support person rather than a behind the scenes network guru, but that's about it. It wasn't very...chatty. And maybe that's OK, but I gotta wonder. Heh...you know how interviews are! It's so hard to know what really went well.

Was who cute?

Was he cute, heh, I debriefed her and I didn't even think to ask.

Whew! More kickboxing. I'm better than I was the first time, at least. Someone should shoot little ditzy chicks who show up looking like they're going out to dinner afterwards.
