I can't get no satisfaction..........

I lied, yes I can. I spent almost 2 hours on the phone with a Road Runner service tech today, and I finally was able to get activated and set up a new email address. But I must say, it was like pulling teeth in the dark without pliers. See, I am so illiterate (computer-wise) that service techies have to work hard to suppress their obvious disgust with me. I always start off telling them that I know nothing about the workings of a computer, so they will have to explain everything well and speak more slowly and louder than usual. This makes them edgy right off, and they would prefer to get me off the line ASAP. The guy today could hardly hide his boredom with my kind. though he persevered and now I can surf quickly and read more blogs in a shorter period of time. That's all I really wanted, you know.

Hot damn! Another writer who don't know squat about computers. I'm with you, kid. I got a guy in New Orleans (I'm in Oregon) who takes care of my website, I'm so stupid. So now you my best buddy.

I'm surprised someone didn't come out and set you up! of course I guess things have changed....I've had RR for like 3 or 4 years....that's forever in computer terms.
