Next time, ask for the MAC addy or the serial number of the computer. That usually stops them dead in their tracks.

I did ask one "which computer?, I have about 50 of them here." Ok.. I lied about the number but suddenly he changed his script to "it's all of them!!!!!!" You could practically hear the cash register ringing in the background.
