Ah, yes; as it happens, I heard from EBarnacle's buddy again today. I was thinking that I would mess with him for a bit, so I told him how glad I was that he called, as my computer was all messed up. He asked me what I was seeing on it. I then discovered that I didn't feel that much like wasting time with him or trying that hard to be clever. I said "all I can see on the screen is blurry triangles", and hung up. The phone immediately rang again. I picked it up and put it down. It rang again immediately. Repeat. I guess at that point he gave up on me for the day,
