6 June 2003No carrier detectedAs an old-line IT guy, I don't even bother to look up when someone mentions, say, flashing a BIOS. Then I saw what Michele was going through with her modem:
Please, I admonished it. Please work.
It just winked and winked. I think it laughed. In fact, I know it laughed. Until finally:
Maybe you could just flash me or something?
Excuse me? Hey, modems have needs, too. Come on, show me your tits. No wonder I never have any luck with comm devices. But one question remains: would this technique have worked for Susanna?

From a distance, of course. That post from Michele, on its own, makes it clear she doesn't live alone. Posted by: susanna at 12:19 PM on 7 June 2003[sigh] Posted by: CGHill at 9:29 PM on 8 June 2003 |
