Let's play with the MUTE button a bit. For those that don't know - we have a mute button that allows us to hear you, but you cannot hear us - We use it to say the things that would get us fired without you hearing us - we do this a lot, as this call will demonstrate. Muted words are in Pink

Me: When did this start?
caller: Right after I installed Microsoft Office
Me: How much Ram do you have??
