[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 149641"] Computers can be so frustrating. I just said on Lisa's post how I don't let the kids on my computer. They're dangerous to them. And I *hate* having to rely on computer support. It *always* takes them 3 times as long to fix the problem as it should. And that's only if they don't make it worse first. And if you're not talking to someone in India. As far as the scheduling, I've got another one for you. I moved in December. Initially I was moving to a different address and had the appointment set with the cable company for the installation. The day before I moved, I signed a lease on a different property one-half of a mile from the other place and needed the same installation. So, I get on the phone and first have to go through this (I kid you not) 20 minute ordeal to cancel the other appointment which was scheduled for the day I moved which was a Saturday. Then when the lady goes to schedule the appointment she tells me she doesn't have anything until Monday. I asked what about Saturday. She said they're booked. No, you're not. I just cancelled and it's only 1/2 mile away. She said it didn't matter. It takes 24 hours for the cancellation to go through the system. Ok, so handwrite the order. I can't do that. Isn't that just the stupidest thing? [/QUOTE]
