I would drop a letter of complaint about that first tech, including the $75 fee for the ADT rehookup (that he unhooked). Be specific about what you'd like them to do to make you happy -- don't just whinge about what they did wrong.

I don't trust most of the techs who come out. As little as I know that I know, they tend to know even less... but if they can stand toe-to-toe with me on a topic and show me where I'm wrong in my thinking, that's big points.

Had a tech once tell me that I had a dual-boot machine just because I had a DOS boot menu in there. This was back in the days where you occasionally had to maximize your free memory for certain games... that one didn't sit very well. And after I took the DOS boot menu off, he said he still couldn't install it because it had had one on there...

Hello.... please get me your supervisor. [img]graemlins/madhell.gif[/img]
