Apparently the guy was getting pretty huffy, and asked what system the computer was. Father said "I thought YOU knew?".

No, replied the scammer.

"Oh, its an Apple"

click.

Yes, my grandmother DOES have an ANCIENT old Apple (first gen - probably worth some money now to a collector!!!).
I love these calls. I always ask them questions as of I'm very dum about computers, so they think they have a "live one" on the end of the line, after I drag the conversation out as long as I think they can take, which some times can be a long time the longest I've gone is 28 min. I'll then tell them I haven't a computer!!!! Love it!!!
