We haven’t opened the phone lines in awhile, so I thought it would be fun to take a few calls tonight. This first one comes in from Quahog. Apparently, the caller is afraid of computer viruses, and put a plastic bag over his computer to protect it.

Peter is convinced that his computer is safe now that he has plastic over it. When I told him it’s ok to remove it, he was worried the computer would get a virus, and then he would touch it, and then HE would get the virus too.

I tried to explain that is about as ludicrous as it would be to say putting the mouse on your head protects you from aliens. And Peter of course is now happy he’s safe from aliens. Our caller was also confused as to how I had 150 people in the room with me. After explaining about them being in a virtual chat room, he became afraid we’d all get a virus.

Peter needs a bit more help than I can provide, but hopefully he’ll email me if he ever has another tech question.
