My computer was running so slowly and I had a friend of mine tell me that I should have a new hard drive put into it. "That will make the whole computer work better," she said. So, I decided to go ahead and install a new one. I had talked to a couple other friends that had installed them so I decided that I should install it myself. It seemed like an easy task to undertake. "How hard can directions be to follow anyway?"
So, with that in mind, I got up this morning and decided that I was going to go get a new hard drive and try to install it. Slipping on my light pink v-neck sweater and a black pleated mini skirt with black pumps I headed out the door.
Dressed as I was, I knew that I would draw the attention of the sales men. I like to get in the store and be dealt with quickly. Especially today so that I could get home and make sure that I could get my computer up and running again. My plan to draw attention to myself work well since with in a few minutes I had a guy offering to help me with anything I needed.
When I told him what I was doing, he suggested I get a Maxie with the Maxie Blaster installation utility. It occurred to me that that was an interesting name for an installation utility and I almost giggled with the thought of it and yet again when he told me that I needed to make sure that the Maxie Blaster was inserted into the correct drive slot.
That done and the hard drive in hand, "now that is a provocative thought" I think, smiling to myself as I head home to begin my adventure in installing a new hard drive. Little did I know that the installation would be the least of my adventures! Walking in, I take my shoes and bra off and attempt to relax a little while I begin the task of installing my hard drive.
I back up my computer and do all the things I view as necessary to begin and then I open the box and begin to read about how to install it and quickly found out that I couldn't rely on that. Way too many technical terms for me to know how to read much less figure out how to actually get it to working.
So next I decided to put in a web search on my back up computer and see if that would help me at all. I found a lot of helpful sites there, as long as you have done it before and had more technical knowledge of what was actually inside the tower than I had.
None of my friends were online that could help me with the task at hand since they were all currently at work. So I went back to the instructions that came with my new hard drive. I found a list of technical support companies that would be able to help me through it if I needed the extra assistance. So, I decided that I would go that route with it. I picked out a number that was for a company local to my area and I picked up the phone and called.
I wasn't on hold long when I was transferred to a guy with a very deep, manly sounding voice saying, "Hi. You have reached the support desk of High Tech Wonders. I am Dick, how may I help you?" I thought to myself how great it was to hear that deep voice and how I was sure that he would be able to talk me through anything and how the name that you provided, made my mind focus on the part of your body that you were named for.
"Oh, Yeah, I hope so anyway. I am trying to install a new hard drive on my computer and I am not having much luck."
"Okay ma'am. What kind of computer do you have and what size hard drive are you trying to install?"
"Well I have a Comtech computer, and the guy at the store sold me the biggest one that my computer would support."
"Okay" he begins. "Do you know what the model number for you computer is?"
"Not right off hand, all I know is that I have the best available. How could I find out?"
"Is there any thing written on the case front?"
"No"
"Do you have the manual that came with the computer?"
"No, sorry, I got the computer as a floor model so they didn't have all the papers to go with it."
"Well do you have a web cam or anything that you could turn on to show me what you are doing? Then I can find out what model it is and how the install is going as I walk you through it."
"Oh okay. Yeah I have a good laptop that has my cam on it...I can set it up and use it."
"That will be fine ma'am. What messenger will be the best way for us to connect?"
"I have several different ones." I say. "Can we use CanUCme? I prefer it."
"Yes I have that here as well. My ID is 'hightechman' what is yours?"
"My ID is Sweet_tasting_4U. I will add you so be looking for me."
"Okay ma'am. I will be on soon then."
I begin to question as to how I can still talk to you when I have dial up and currently on the phone line needed for the internet. I didn't want to do it on my own or lose the sound of your voice. So I ask, "Can we use voice through the messenger? I am more comfortable with doing this if I can hear your voice telling me what to do. Not waiting on words to be typed out, but I need this phone line for the messenger."
"Yes ma'am, we can do that. That would be good, and then your hands will be free to work and not hold the phone. Now can you set the web cam so that I will be able to see what you are doing?"
"Yes. Having my hands free for other things is never a bad idea especially when I will be working with a tool. I have found that two hands are better than one, if it is a big tool you're dealing with." I tease, watching the small smile flick across your face and a mischievous glint come into your eyes, as I continue on a more serious matter. "I have a table I can set the tower on and another for the cam.
So after having discussed how we would be able to still talk with out the phone, I told you that I would hang up and connect to the internet. Then I would be looking for you to show as online. When I got online, sure enough you were already there and showing as online, so I sent an IM to you to let you know I was here, by teasing with, "I'm back, lucky you."
"Okay ma'am." you type back to me, and I picture you probably laughing a little. Then you type in, "Let's go ahead and get the cam and microphones up."
I type in a simple, "Okay." The microphone is what I connect to you first. We talk back and forth to make sure it is going to work before I turn on my cam and invite you to see it, saying as I do, "Let me know when you can see me, so that we can proceed with all that needs to be done."
"Okay great I see you now. I can't see the computer very well though."
"Oh. Okay. Well let me try to move it a little closer to you." I say as I bend slightly forward, forgetting that my ass was facing the cam until I hear your breath catch, making me believe you enjoy the view of my skirt riding higher up the back of my legs, as I pull the table closer to the cam.
I hear you cough as if to clear your throat before saying, "Okay. I can see it all now."
I wondered if you had saw further up my skirt than I had realized for a moment before I looked and understood that you could be in fact speaking only of the computer.
"Okay good." I say, wondering why I was finding it erotic to hear your voice while trying to install a new hard drive.
"First thing you need to do ma'am is remove the cover. We need to be able to see what is in there."
"Okay." I say, again thinking how that could be something very erotic if taken that way.
Once again I have to bend over slightly this time in order to reach the clips that hold the cover onto the tower. I was still wondering if you enjoy the view of me bent over for you on cam.
"Okay. I see you have it off." you say when I lift the cover off.
"Yes."
"Okay, first thing we need to do is check the jumpers on the back of the new hard drive to make sure they are configured right for what you are trying to do." you say.
"Um, I hate to sound like an idiot but what are the jumpers?"
"They are the connections that configure the drive."
"Oh, well I don't know what they look like?"
"Hang on. I will turn on my cam and then I can point out the things you need to know, show you what I am talking about. Do you think that would help?"
"Yes. I really think that would help. Wasn't sure we could have that option. Would be nice because then you could let me know for sure that I was going to screw the right thing or plug something into the right holes." Thinking how this conversation is beginning to sound like something a lot more personal than a hard drive installation. I was wondering if you had noticed that as well.
"Okay ma'am sending the invite now."
When I see you on cam, I am surprised. I had kind of expected some old fat guy to be on the other end of it. You however are a very good-looking man. I noticed the dark hair and nice shoulders that your shirt clung to. I couldn't believe my luck in hearing your voice and seeing you all at once.
I decide to be a little bold, after all you had already had a few glances up my skirt, so I tell you that you look like a very nice man, very good looking and that I liked the tall dark and handsome type men.
I notice a small smile flick across his face again as I finish that comment.
"Thanks. I have noticed you look good as well but wasn't going to say it since this is business."
"All business is never much fun. Never hurts to play a little bit too."
Another small hint of a smile flirts across your face.
You clear your throat again, and turn the cam towards your example computer as you say, "Here are the jumpers." I began to wonder if you were acting the professional or just really not interested in me. It also makes me decide that if you're just being professional, I want to bring you out of it, if your not interested, then I will leave you alone.
"Okay I see the jumpers."
"Now are you installing it as a 'Master' or as a 'slave' drive?"
