I said "let me guess - you want me to let you have access to my computer so you can fix me up" and he said yes. I asked if everyone who fell for that was a complete idiot and asked for his name. He said Brian Johnson in his thick Indian accent.

Anyway, he said if I wouldn't let him help me, then he couldn't help me.

I agreed - there was no way he could help me, in any fashion. He was polite and wished me a nice day.

Bit disappointing really...
it was about the 27 minute mark things started to go off the rails. I'd let him paint himself into a corner and let him out just to out him in another corner. I had him 6 ways from Sunday when he lost it on me. The call was 29 minutes total, if I recall correctly.

You need to invest time to earn the capital gain of an epic story haha
