Into the mind of Gerlach

When I was a young(er) Xbox'er. (Its actually really about how my thought process works.)

First, to understand how I remembered this story, you have to go into my mental process.

My mental process is what I like to call "linking". I don't know if that is the technical term, or if a technical term even exists. Basically, my mental process requires me starting with 1 simple mental thought/object. My thought process would go as followed:

Starting Mental Object/Thought: Nike

I would think of Nike, then Syracuse being sponsored by Nike. Then me getting these new nike sweats (beautiful and comfortable). Then I would think of swimming, because that is how I got these. Then swimming connects to my friend Styx (Chris), who's father owns a ferrari. Ferrari and Michael Schumacher and possibly Valentino Rossi, who won his 5th consecutive at Malaysia.

So with that thought process, my buddy would think I was weird, because Nike brought up Rossi in my mind.

Still with me? Good, because I got lost in the original point of this post.

Ok, so how did I think of this. I was talking to someone who works in Xbox support, and that got me thinking about support and when my buddy and I first started on Xbox Live, and how I lacked the information I have today. Now on to the story:

When I talked to support online, I asked how many people you can have on your friends list. The quick reply, "unlimited". I was like "cool, so I can have like 1000 friends on my friends list". He replied "no the limit is 100".

Yea...so, how is support so wrong?

Sorry if anyone from IST195 read this, and just dropped 3 pts off of their IQ. I guess, this point was just to demonstrate my thought process.
