6/14/05--Learning to hate Linksys

Living in the computer age, is there a worse feeling than trying to go online and getting the old..."this page cannot be displayed" thing?  UGH!
Then, you have to turn around, and call your provider, in my case....Bellsouth.
And you spend around an hour online...usually with someone who sounds like the guy who runs the QuickieMart on The Simpson's.  And you don't get a squeeshie, either.  Then of course, they tell you that it is NOT A BELLSOUTH problem.
So then you call Linksys....and you spend about an hour online with them....again, talking to the guy from the QuickieMart.....and what happens?  You hear the following statement from your wife:

"Um, is the cord supposed to be plugged into the hold marked "INTERNET"?"

(Cue the Homer Simpson soundbyte)
DOH!

Anyway, I'm back online....and has anything interesting happened since I've been gone?


WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA?????

It's like I told the wife last night.....Tom Cruise could cut Katie Holmes' head off tomorrow...and wouldn't have to sweat it.  Its all about celebrity folks.

Later,
Jeff
