And then, there's the elitist ISP drivel:
ISP: Open the control panel by clicking START...
Me: I can't do that.
ISP: Oh? Why not? Do you need access assistance?
Me: No. I'm running Linux, and it doesn't have a START button.
ISP: Oh? We'd rather you didn't do that. Please reload Windows and call us back when you're ready. Have a good day! Bye!

Actually, this call took place about Sept 2003, and lots has changed since then, but their helpdesk is still very resistant to Linux, Mac and BSD users. Didn't realize the blog was closed tho...

Cheers;
