Time for another Shark Tank

From today’s Shark Tank:

Easy Way Out

Pilot fish observes as a co-worker installs Linux on his Windows XP laptop and then tries to set up a dual-boot option. “He set the timeout to zero, thinking that would give him an unlimited amount of time to switch between operating systems,” fish says. “Instead, it gave him exactly zero seconds to choose Linux and always booted to Windows XP by default, rendering his Linux installation inaccessible.” So how does he deal with what’s effectively a no-Linux laptop? “Actually,” chuckles fish, “he sold it.”

Smells Like Upgrade Time

When support techs arrive to work on a PC that “needs attention,” they find it covered in blobs of dark, foul slime. “Apparently a blocked overhead sewage pipe burst that morning, covering the desk and occupant in its contents,” reports a pilot fish on the scene. “They called us out to see if we would take the PC apart and clean it out before switching it back on. We decided this would be an appropriate time to give the user an upgrade to a new PC.”
