This is a conversation a friend of mine had with another friend, and I just found it too good to not be published somewhere...
I just thought I had to post it somewhere... To mods: If this is not the right category for this feel free to move it, I wasn't sure where it was supposed to go, because humor is more for jokes, and this is sorta computer stuff right??
