Hi guys some of you might have or might not have noticed that I have hardly been posting at all for the last month or so... well the reason is that about a month ago I upgraded my computer and I'm very happy with it...(I can finally play NWN... !!) except that I couldn't use my old modem and the upgrade was kind of expensive so I had to wait until getting paid this month to get one so I have been using a library computer...
So TodayI saw a ad in the newspaper for a DSL kind of cheap... well compared to others here... still very expensive but will have to do... so when I got to the store I paid for it and then the woman came back and said she was sorry they were all out but were expecting a delivery this week and said they would let me know when it got here... strange since they were advertising it today huh? I hate big companies... So I still don't have a modem... and still have to use the library computer... |

Anywho, I hope everything will work out for you Jorath. Have you thought about cable? Or that isn't a possibility?

I once worked in the subscription customer service hotline of a magazine which offered items like computers, cell phones, cameras, ... as addition to the subscription. You'd pay like 300$ and get a camera plus 1year magazine.
They used to advertise an item promising max. 2 weeks delivery. Then they waited until enough people had ordered and paid. Then they ordered the item and shipped it. If there weren't enough orders we (the hotline) had to call the people back and tell them that due to some fictional reason it was not available and offer a substitute. Even if the customer denied and got his money back the company had still made profit by getting the interest for the money they kept for one month (usually longer).
