Sure, but anyone who calls their computers every name under the sun
(un-printable here) almost daily when something locks up or crashes.
Does that count ?

No. The signature you give identifies you immediately as a dork, and
not a geek. Sucks to be you!

You using ISA server? I just dumped mine. Splendid security management but
you need an army of propellor heads to apply changes. Router/firewall
technology has come on so far in the last few years - there's a dozen low
cost products that will do the job without the hassle.

I used to use the voice modem headset - very handy for hands free operation.
But something changed somewhere and now it does not work too well. But the
PC still acts as a voice answering machine, telephone number list for
dialling, fax machine (both incoming and outgoing). And not off-line,
either, as all that works over ADSL!

French partners, but this is where old Henry and his crew set off from
