I had a friend in the business and when he would begin a conversation with a
customer, his first question always was, are you computer literate?  This
after he and I worked for hours trying to get a guy's email set up (via
telephone)  Finally, I asked how he was connecting to the Internet and he
said "You mean I have to be connected to get email?"  I said "It helps" and
hung up....
