Me: "Hello, my computer just rebooted itself and didn't give me a chance to save any of my work." Help Desk: "Yes." Me: "Yes? What do you mean yes?!?" Help Desk: "I'm sorry.

I've only been using Netflix for a few weeks, but I'm over the moon with this service. For those that don't know, Netflix is a speedy and efficient internet-based movie rental shop that's in touch with internet geeks and what they may want from an on-line rental experience.
