Certifiable

I am now an Apple Certified Techinician. That means I can heal Powerbooks with the power of my mind. I can cure stricken hardware with the slightest touch. You could run over your iBook with a steamroller and kneel before me with a garbage bag filled with the broken shards, and I will smile gently and hand you back your computer, whole, functional, because I am a benevolent and merciful god. But I am also a vengeful god: mess with me, and I'll wipe your hard drive just by looking at it.

I am certified. FEAR ME.

Hey, nice work, Eric. Tell you what - my powerbook won't boot from CD-R's. Can you spit on it and make it better?

:)

Seriously though, must be nice being officially sanctioned to help people - the only thing I'm certified to do is tell them to call Epsahn.

There. I have healed your powerbook. PRAISE ME!
