"Well," V'rgo says, "the obvious answer is, 'ask your question in the right bloody group for Pete's sake!'" "The less-than-obvious answer is, "perform in invocation ritual in front of the computer. You'll need holy water, a silver bell, a candelabrum, a papyrus book and seven candles. You will have to pour holy water on top of your monitor; you'll have to make sure it goes down to all the electronic gizmos (for best effect add a bit of salt). Make sure the computer is off though. Otherwise it won't work. Then you'll have to do the same thing for the actual computer. Use Coke with the keyboard and the mouse (dip the Coke bottle into holy water first). Then light the candles (that you have attached to your candelabrum), ring the bell, read the holy papyrus book aloud and turn on your computer. You should have no troubles installing the program afterwards. "Glad to be of help." V'rgo pats the clueless John on the back and watches him wander off in search of the invocation items. A couple of minutes later there is a sudden sharp electric sound and smoke seems to start pouring from where John went. V'rgo pats his favourite clue-by-four. "We don't need LARTs today, this clueless d00d only needs a teensy weensy clue." V'rgo [a renegade, not an official member of RGRNCA] -- Sig? What sig?
