Coalition Of Gay Vietnam Veterans

I had to do a re come store on my 370 and it was not any fun, my monitor fought me all the way but I was patient and persistent (I didn’t say I was completely calm), I said I was patient and persistent. My monitor didn’t fight me it was getting my desktop back to the resolution that I wanted that that caused the entire headache. Now when you don’t have tech support on a product, live a lone and the only ones you associate with don’t know anymore than you do or not even as much (wellllll your pretty much screwed) and/or left to your own devices. Goes without saying you don’t have the money or the desire to take it to a computer shop and let them do it either. So what you do is log onto the Internet and track down a few support forums where you can find a good starting point and then take it from there. Fortunately, I have all of my data on three separate drives including program downloads and CD’s so nothing was lost other than the programs on C drive.

What it all boils down to is flashbacks to Vietnam days, when it was scrounge and more scrounge and throw it together with spit and bailing wire and bubble gum and that all goes with poverty. Now even if you manage to get everything working the way it’s supposed to be working and some smart A comes along and says to you, that you didn’t need tech support in the first, smile and turn around and walk away from them. Because that Smart A probably doesn’t have as much smarts as you in the first place. Still the point being that when technical things go wrong it would it would sure as hell be nice to be able to pick up the phone and call tech support and have the problem cleared up in a few minutes as opposed to muddling through the problem for a few days or weeks on your intelligence.

Anyone that says well you were smart enough to figure it out, so fine yes I was smart to figure it out after about three or four days when it should and could have taken only a few minutes to maybe a half an hour at the most with a live software technician. I had the same problem trying to install McAfee after subscribing, fortunately live chat was available and it took the technician maybe twenty minutes to walk me through the steps for resolving the problem and McAfee went through it’s installation procedure just like it was supposed to.

Well I hope you reading this doesn’t find to many typos and if you do be kind and just read past them, it’s been a hectic past weekend and start to the new week.

Soooooooooo Dilly Bop, Dilly Bop, Dilly Bop, Dilly Bop Bop Bop and one more Bop to make sure I got enough.
