We have done so.
Now Tyberius Prime expects him to start complaining that we removed his 'free speech' since this message will replace all of his posts, past and future.
Don't follow his example - seek real life help first.

Oh yes, it's absolutely fabulous.

If I find the courage, I'll make a transcription of the phone call in English.
Whatever, basically, the woman calls because her iMac goes on the internet ( though it's not connected to the phone plug ), and she says that it does so against her will, via the GPS card built-in every computer and some American satellites. That's a jewel. Thank you Bunny.

Oh my god... This is terrible

In the end, the woman even started talking about a governement conspiracy... I don't even know how this man had the patience to answer her... Oh, this is truly a jewel !

Thank you InI !

Very funny but i can't help but think she's pulling a hoax on the support person.
She obviously has a tech background given she knows about servers, MAC addresses, integrated modems etc...but the real tipoff is when she says there is a GPS inside the power supply...."le bloc d'alimentation"...for me that's got to be a hoax or she is, indeed, completely f***** nuts.

either way..lol.

If one of our french and english speaking inmates wants to attmept a translation, it would be greatly appreciated.

I will let someone else do the honours of a full translation as this is rather long.

Essentially, the woman is complaining that her computer is connecting to the "server" and being forced on to the internet without her consent even though she does not have any connection to the outside world..no phone line attached to a dial-up modem, no cable attached to an ethernet card and cable modem.

She is convinced though that she is being monitored (she claims that the power supply is outfitted with a GPS device for tracking purposes).

Given her Mac is under warranty she is asking the tech support rep to help her disconnect from the "server/internet". She is 100% adamant in her demands... she want's off the network even though she's clearly not connected to anything in the first place.

She is obviously whacko as Ini surmised. Interestingly though, she does bring up many advanced concepts such as servers, IPs, MAC addresss (no relationship to Apple's Mac), power supplies, etc.
