I need some help with a question for a friend.
Bascially a good friend of mine who works for an IT company goes on air at the local radio station for 15 mins every week to answer questions about computers and stuff.
Usually people ring in and ask about the latest version of windows, compatability, the difference between a netbook / laptop etc etc.
Last week, on the spur of the moment, I emailed in and basically said my windows PC was giving me error's about DLL's, I asked where's a good place to buy new DLL's and where can I safely expose of the old ones.
The woman hosting the show stupidly read out the email and kept dragging it on and on 
So now, I need new question(s) for this week.
As much as Id like to make it really funny (and start quoting the fresh prince of bel air etc), it needs to be fairly believable, perhaps something that only a geek would understand.
My friend knows it's me, so I might have to make up a spoof name / email address which might just add to the comedy.
If anyone has any good questions in mind, please let me know

Ask him if a Mac is better than a PC...

Phone up and say you have an exchange server running in your bedroom but don't know how to image a hard drive, that would be funny.

Tell them you got a virus so you deleted system32, and now don't know what to do.

radio show probably wouldn't need to run that segment if everyone had macs, tbh.

Say you've got a virus that pops up with male enlargement adverts - and really point out the fact about different popups.

I like the system32 one, might try that for tomorrow.
Any other ideas?
