Did you asked which of the 100 computers you manage needs the licence
renewed? ;-)


I actually got one of them to hang up on me with that question instead
of me hanging up on them.


I've never gotten a call about a license, but I've gotten other calls
from "MS". Sometimes I ask if their mother knows what they do for
money". (I don't use the word "earn".) One guy spent more than 5
minutes with me arguing that he wasn't a thief.



You must have lots of time to waste. I just hang up on spammers and
scammers as quickly as possible.


I have 6 minutes. Usually they hang up on me the first time I say
that so this time was very interesting.
