Yup finally got it done. I tried doing it on-line (like the goberment does) but they insist they need users to call in on a voice line. Presumably to verify orally that you are indeed who you say you are by providing a pin number. Never mind that you can go on [...] The next time you are offered a mail-in rebate, try this. Ask the person selling you the item for a 30 day interest free loan so you can pay for the item. Then promise to re-pay the loan as soon as you get the rebate. Not surprisingly he is going to think you are nuts. At that [...] Used to be that a reward was something awarded to someone who did something to benefit the rewarder. I guess that definition still holds when banks reward you for allowing them to overcharge you for services that may eventually get you into financial trouble. Many years ago you could negotiate price on an item if [...] I have a newer Dell computer that has been having jumpy curser problems. You drag the mouse, the curser follows, then stops, then jumps to the new location. Very annoying. I tried a new USB mouse, plugged it in to a front panel USB port. The previous mouse had been plugged into a [...] About the only thing birthdays are good for is to receive birthday presents, eat birthday cakes, and retrieve birthday cards from the mailbox. This birthday I got a 500 gig hard drive. A full 500 giglebytes that I divided into two partitions of 250 gig each.

Well, exactly what a user can do is not important because the [...] This is an Andy Rooney like rant about telephone service. Well, we finally got a MagicJack and got it working. It helps to have a computer that works and has an active connection to the internet. After fooling with an improperly configured computer for a day we discovered that the installation, registration, and email [...] I read somewhere that in the game of life the person with the most toys at the time of death wins the game. I believe that is a very short sighted outlook. My definition of a winning position is to be the one with the most toys that are still working when the end comes. Recently [...] Purchase by mail is generally an accepted practice for items not conveniently available locally, but there may be other reasons to prefer this way of doing business. Economy and convenience are not normally considerations. Mail order is going to cost as much as buying locally in most cases, but the costs may differ as to [...] What does NTFS stand for? Maybe ‘Not This Friggin System’ Why should it matter what it stands for? All that matters to users is what it does? It allows your computer to have hard drive volumes larger than 32 gig and files larger than 4 gig. Those are the FAT-32 [...] |
