I wouldn't be posting here if not for my severe computer game addiction while supporting myself through university. That and I'm fatally intelligent... and modest to boot!

Not really, but that and Tekken/SoulCalibur pwnage was around 2/3ds of my university education nonetheless.
My 'supporting myself' came from working as an Internet Helpdesk monkey, hence you see me responding a lot to whine over our CS being balls.

I never had any 'cupholder' incidents. But I kid you not, I've spent the better part of an hour trying to understand:
1) Why some old lady was calling me about her computer being locked up, me being on the internet helpdesk (I've had to help people learn how to use copy/paste in word >.<).
2) Why restarting her computer over and over again resulted in the exact same lock-up state.
3) After 30 minutes: Figure out how to explain to some ancient dinosaur the difference between a monitor and a computer.
Resolution: I suggested that she would carefully unplug and replug EVERY cable in her office, hoping that she'd eventually power down the computer. Didn't hear from her again, sincerely hope that she called again and one of my co-worker had to share my misery.
And yes, there's not a shred of empathy left in me. Might explain my modus operandi on these forums, no?

Yeah, I had to listen to that before I got to pick up any calls. Basic IHD preparation.

Sad reality is... nothing there is an exaggeration. Not one thing.
