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
08/04/04: Exe file
Tech Support Pits:
From Chris===
Dear Webby,
I have been trying to send an attachment from my machine
at work to my new machine at home. It's one of those
utilities that you wrote for me a dozen or more years ago,
and I know it's perfectly safe. The mail works fine, except
when I try to attach that program. What's going on ?
Chris
Dear Chris
EXE files have gone out of fashion, because nowadays
they often are viruses or worms. Probably your ISP
automatically dumps all mail that has .exe attachments.
Just upload it to your site from work, then download it
when you get home.
Have FUN
Dear Webby
