purple.com? WTF? over
Ok, I have to ask. I'm on the phone with VZW tech support and in the middle of trying to fix my e-mail problem the girl says try to go to purple.com. A minute later she says try to send another e-mail and gets back to working on my problem.
No further reference to purple.com or anything. It's like she never said it.
So about ten minutes later as we are waiting for my Q to start up I ask her why she mentioned that website. Her response is "oh I wanted you to go to a website that wasn't in your cache". ????????? WTF ???????
That still doesn't answer my question and it doesn't make any sense.
Is this a joke like the "meow" thing or what?
Any insight from anyone?

She wanted you to get your browser to go to a website that wasn't in your cache already so that she could confirm you were getting internet access; and not just pulling up a copy of a page that was stored in your memory.
That's my guess anyway, hope this helps.

OK, I guess I can accept that it was just a strange website, and what made her so sure I hadn't been there before.

Click the faq, and read the testimonials. But the first one I read summed it up quite well.

I was recently on the phone with tech support setting up a network, when the
tech on the phone advised me to go to purple.com and tell him what I saw. I
burst into laughter as soon as I saw it. SO Classic. The tech uses it
because it's simple and quick loading, and everyone knows how to spell it.
At any rate, I wanted to compliment you on your accomplishment. On reading
your posted emails, it would seem many folks don't grasp why you maintain
purple. I applaud you in making the...

It's a game from a movie called super troopers where they substitute "meow" for "now" when they are talking. Kind of an inside joke between the troopers. The people they pull over are trying to figure out why the troopers are saying "meow" and the troopers are acting like they are not saying it.
