@neilk I remember once getting into an argument with a guy calling about my Windows machine. I legitimately only had a Linux laptop. He called me a liar, and insisted I did, indeed have a Windows machine. I hung up on him.

@commonst @neilk I must have had the same guy a few years back. I gave him all the details of... an antique CP/M box I used for word-processing. "I don't believe you! You don't have a computer at all!" *click*

@neilk @commonst: I stalled a scammer for a bit by claiming to be a Windows user whose friend had installed Linux, but left it booting into the CLI instead. The next time they called, I just ended the call early by blaring obnoxiously loud music down the line.
