How low I've sunk...

[arnisador]

My ISP has been down completely for several days and was up-and-down for a week before that.

I sunk so low that today I went out to Circuit City and got a 1000 Hours Free! AOL disk so that I could get my e-mail! There's probably an ethical issue here in using it purely for my own convenience, but like Jean Valjean I was desperate to feed myself and my family.

Then tonight my cable modem came back up. :Now I still have to cancel the AOL service before they bill me in 45 days.

Arnisador,

You have paid in ways you do not understand even yet. You still have to remove the AOL software and get teh billing department to actually remove your credit card. Many times they require it in writing. You did what you had too, yet you still paid or will pay.

Glad you are back.

Good Luck!

Please note: I do not support AOL's so called 'software'. What it does to a computer is just too horrible.

Good luck in trying to remove its tenticles. I recomend simply backing up your data and wiping the hard drive clean and starting over.

It'll be easier.

Purely for spite, I would use the 1000 hours and make sure I call tech support daily to ask stupid questions.

Don't they have public libraries in your town? I hear they provide FREE internet service (although they may prohibit you right from surfin on down to www dot whitehouse dot com.

Next thing you know, you'll be out there buying a MAC.



PS For those who don't know .... www.whitehouse.com is an ADULT web site. If you want to see George W. Bush's residence, go to www.whitehouse.gov

My cable's been back up since I posted--that means I put that scumware on my computer for just three hours worth of access! :cuss:

I've heard local horror stories about getting the billing canceled...well, at least i didn't get a Mac!
