One The Fallon Times reader called us up last week claiming
that she spent all day at work without her Windows 98 machine crashing.
Gill Bates told us "It was around 12.30 and something was unusual. I
couldn't quite put my finger on it until I saw one of my colleagues reboot
his computer. MY COMPUTER HADN'T CRASHED ALL DAY!"
"I told myself to remain calm and assured myself that I wasn't going mad. I
opened up 2 instances of Internet Explorer. I also opened up outlook
and instant messanger, but to no avail - the computer remained stable".
Obviously The Fallon Times was a little sceptical of this
claim, and a reporter was sent to Gill's office to investigate. Upon interviewing
some staff members, we discovered that Gill is "as daft as a brush" and "just
an attention seeker". We found out that this wasn't the first time she pulled
a stunt like this. A couple of years ago, Gill was so happy with her new PC that
she disgarded the CTRL, ALT and DELETE keys from her keyboard, much to her employer's
embarrassment.
