>For instance, back in 1993, I got a phone call very early on Thanksgiving morning and then a month later on Christmas morning - from my boss, who was having problems with his home computer. I was still rather young, and make the mistake of helping him, even though it definitely wasn't an emergency. If that happened today, I'd take it as an opportunity to use the four-letter words I generally don't use now that I'm a father :)
