DearWebby is actually Helmut Morscher, the CEO of Webby, inc.
Originally the "Tech Support Pits" were reports of the funniest tech support incidents, but over the years the
column gradually shifted to answering tech support questions put forward by the readers of the Dear
Webby Humor Letter.
This collection of computer and web advice was started partly because readers demanded an archive, and partly
because some questions were asked again and again. Each page has a different day's Tech Support Pits column.
Have FUN!

Tech Support Pits column from Dear Webby's Humor Letter of
07/30/05: Why PDF?
Tech Support Pits:
From Sandra===
Dear Webby,
Why are people using PDF for e-books?
It makes it impossible to copy just a few paragraphs
or chapters. How do you get around that?
Sandra
Dear Sandra
The main reason why authors use PDF is to protect their
work from copy-cats.
The second reason is that PDF makes a book look
and print the same no matter what kind of computer
the reader uses.
The third reason is that it puts everything, text and
pictures into a nice, neat package without the need
for lots of lose files.
If you just want to copy a paragraph to paste up on your
fridge, use a graphics program and do a screen capture,
size and crop it the way you want it, and then print it.
Have FUN!
Dear Webby
