And especially not at Christmas. /p pThe reason is because you will spend all day teaching them how to use it and the rest of your life being their unofficial tech support line. /p pAccording to The TechGuys, the UK’s largest provider of technology support services, ‘Gadget Meltdown’ will occur at precisely 11.48am on Christmas Day. Based on last year’s calls to their TechFriend service, gadgets packed up between 11.40am and 11.56am. The peak was 11.48am with the majority of callers ringing up about problems associated with setting up new PCs, laptops and wireless networks./p pTim Fairs, head of marketing at The TechGuys comments: /pimg width=’1′ height=’1′ src=’http://feeds.uk.gizmodo.com/c/552/f/9581/s/29e1e7a/mf.gif’ border=’0’/div class=’mf-viral’table border=’0’trtd valign=’middle’a href=”http://res.feedsportal.com/viral/sendemail2.html?title=’Gadget Meltdown’ Will Occur At 11.48am On Christmas Daylink=http://uk.gizmodo.com/2008/12/23/gadget_meltdown_will_occur_at.html” target=”_blank”img src=”http://rss.feedsportal.com/images/emailthis2.gif” border=”0″ //a/tdtd valign=’middle’a href=”http://res.feedsportal.com/viral/bookmark.cfm?title=’Gadget Meltdown’ Will Occur At 11.48am On Christmas Daylink=http://uk.gizmodo.com/2008/12/23/gadget_meltdown_will_occur_at.html” target=”_blank”img src=”http://rss.feedsportal.com/images/bookmark.gif” border=”0″ //a/td/tr/table/divbr/br/a href=”http://da.feedsportal.com/r/27588474522/u/0/f/9581/c/552/s/43916922/a2.htm”img src=”http://da.feedsportal.com/r/27588474522/u/0/f/9581/c/552/s/43916922/a2.img” border=”0″//a
