I always felt like I was calling 1-800-Help an Idiot until my girlfriend explained tech support sits there and reads the manual to help us. But they can make you feel like a moron, just with their tone of voice.

Dianne, tone of voice is key, isn't it? Some are the nicest people you could ever want to learn from, and others make you feel dumber than dirt.

Does anyone have any specific questions you would like answered in the teleconference? No questions are bad questions...

I always seem to get the technie from Hell...and if one of them ever utter those dreaded words, "Try that, and if it doesn't work, call my personal number at 1-8---" don't buy it. When you call back, (cause you KNOW it isn't gonna work), they say the guy doesn't work there and they've never heard of him. I think they take turns being Roger, David, Joan, whatever, and just pass the names around.

Dotsie,
Sorry if I got the focus turned away from teleconference
questions. The only thing I can think to ask is, "What internet provider do the experts rank highest? What company has the best service or most qualified trouble shooting capabilities?" Many times we'll phone for tech help and get someone in China or elsewhere overseas.

My geographic area is being hit with a storm, right as I
post. So, I can probably expect the electric to go off and my computer to dummy up when it's rebooted. That happens even when we disconnect it before the lines go down.

Ciao for now...

Ladies, I will be sure these questions get asked tonight. Thanks. I hope you'll be on the call.
