[Digital Drama – Part One – 6:11pm]
*A phone is ringing*
-Hello
It’s me, you have to help! My computer won’t work; what’s wrong with it??
-Um.. Explain “won’t work” please
I plugged the thing in, and the modem is in the wall, and the text stuff was there but before it got to the screensaver something happened!
-...Ok..
You’d think the Anti-Norton Virus-program would fix this kind of thing.. What should I do??
-Just calm down. Where there any error messages or anything?
There was one last time the computer botted normally, but I clicked it away as fast as I could (*said in a proud voice*)
-Please, what have I told you, again and again, about error messages?
(Pause) .. That.. that I should remember them.. write them down.. That I should write them down so I can tell you what it said! (*triumphantly*)
-Exactly. So why didn’t you write it down?
Because I had faith in your ability to solve the problem?
-How am I supposed to solve it if I know nothing about it??
Because you know about computers and operating disk systems and stuff! Oh, wait, there’s someone at the door, nice talking to you, talk to you later, you will help me, won’t you? (*click*)

[Digital Drama – Part Two – 6:25pm]
*A phone is ringing*
-Yes?
Ok, I’m back, why won’t my home page show up on the screen saver?
-Are you talking about the desktop in Windows, or are you talking about Internet Explorer? I mean, are you having trouble starting the computer, or are you having trouble going online?
The what?
-Ok, I want you to turn on the computer and tell me exactly what happens. And DON’T push any buttons, and DON’T touch the mouse until I tell you to, ok?
But then we have to hang up, right?
-No. You are not going to go online, you are just going to turn on the computer, now do it please.
Ok.. (*dubiously*)
(*click*)

[Digital Drama – Part Three – 6:32pm]
*A phone is ringing*
-What did you do now? (*deep sigh*)
I’m on my cell phone! Why did you hang up?
-I didn’t. You did.
No, I didn’t. When I put the modem in the wall, you hung up!
-When. You. Did. WHAT??
I put the modem in the wall, and you hung up on me!
-How many jacks do you have for the phone?
One..
-And did you remove anything from it to “put the modem in the wall”?
Yes..
-WHAT did you remove, do you think?
The phone, of cou.. Oh.. OH! Oops, I forgot..
-Never mind.. Did you start the computer?
Yes, but I just got some text and some messages so I turned it off as fast as I could (*proud*)
-(*deep sigh*) Did you write it down?
No.. Should I have?
-Didn’t we just have this conversation? How can I help you when you won’t do as I ask?
Can’t we just.. Type a command or something? My neighbor helped me once; he pressed the Arrow-Down-Key several times. Maybe that would help? Oh, gotta go, I, oh, talk to you later!
(*click*)

[Digital Drama – Part Four – 6:59pm]
*A phone is ringing*
-Yes?
Ok, I can start the computer now. Wait, is is beeping.. It is beeping! What is happening? Oh my god, the computer is broken! Blasted electronic gadgets, they never work and they are so expensive, I’m going to throw it out and run it over with the car, I’ll—
-Stop it! It sounds like you have something on your keyboard. Remove everything from it, and it will be alright.
Oh.. My goodness, you’re right!
-...
Ok, Now there’s the text stuff, and then it’s black. And now it’s blue. Or maybe green, it depends on what you call the color. I call it blue, but my husband calls it green. My neighbor says the monitor is old, but it’s only 4 years old so that can’t be it, but he said that.. Oh, here’s the error message aga—
-DO NOT DO ANYTHING! READ WHAT IT SAYS!
You don’t have to shout, you know. I’m not stupid!
-(*refusing to comment*)
Um.. It says.. “Do you want to automatically adjust to Daylight Savings?” Is that bad?
-It means “Do you want to adjust the clock to the correct time?”. Click “Yes”, and that’s that.
So it isn’t broken? For real?
-If you would only READ the messages for yourself you would spare yourself a lot of trouble.
But now it will bott normally, and show the screen saver without any error or viruses?
-(*sigh*) Yes, everything is fine now
So I don’t have to deinstall Anti-Norton? Or maybe I should call my neigh.. I have to go!
(*click*)

The morale of the story:
Never, ever, suggest that your mother should buy a computer.
