Maybe that’s why my computer crashed yesterday.

It’s always a bad sign when the IT guy looks at your screen, turns around, and asks, “Is there anything important on your hard drive?”

I usually ask people if they have their resume stored there.

I'd always make the IT guy put in a new HD if I even let him/them near my computer. Their first response is always to reformat the drive. Useless when it comes to "saving" your work PC.

I had the same thing last week, Norton popped up a message saying it had caught ands killed a virus. Then an hour later the IT guy came by, told me I had a virus, and took my pc to "wipe it." I wasn't sure why that was needed if Norton had stopped it. He said others had the same virus. I had been on Drudge and ESPN at lunch, as well as other sites.
