Good luck with that. I've had two calls purporting to be from "the 
computer department". As soon as I start querying them, they laugh 
and hang up. I don't have caller ID, so I don't know their 
originating number. I doubt it's revealed in any case.

Our truest response to the irrationality of the world is to paint or 
sing or write, for only in such response do we find truth.
