(And, no, Mike, it wasn't Comcast, but it might as well have been. I don't think there's much difference between one company and the next.)Linda@VShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499621332375290781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-47408820617337936692008-01-30T07:06:00.000-06:002008-01-30T07:06:00.000-06:00all this new stuff drives me crazy but my daughter...all this new stuff drives me crazy but my daughter takes to it like ducks to water!patsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15698348452802053572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-11147648232163432252008-01-29T08:38:00.000-06:002008-01-29T08:38:00.000-06:00Velvet, you make me glad I live in the technologic...Velvet, you make me glad I live in the technological, do it yourself or it doesn't get done, wilderness!

Amazing to think that only a few short years ago I could have cared less about the Internet. Now its an important part of my daily routine. Oh we humans are something, aren't we? I was sick and didn't know about Butch since I wasn't doing anything much online. I'm so glad he's doing ok now.

I'm not being smug when I say that I've learned that if I miss a show or movie, it'll be on again sometime, and I can live without seeing it. So I doubt I'll be getting anything like that. <BR/><BR/>I would have been very annoyed that the internet service got disconnected. I hope that never happens to me, because my mom gets flustered dealing with technical stuff-technical meaning anything more complicated than a remote control.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-77767606645198144802008-01-27T20:36:00.000-06:002008-01-27T20:36:00.000-06:00I have a DVR but don't know how to interpret the b...I have a DVR but don't know how to interpret the buttons on the remote. They have little pictures on them and I don't have a users manual. Trying to guess what the pictures mean is too complicated so I just make sure I watch TV in my room instead of the plasma TV. Stupid, huh? As the the Internet, it's like that old song "I won't last a day without you!"nan16https://www.blogger.com/profile/16273247335538935934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-18974460702366732152008-01-27T19:18:00.000-06:002008-01-27T19:18:00.000-06:00Velvet, So sorry about your lack of service.
