i am about to gripe here ....
i wanna share with you about my Hughsnet broadband experience :)
it has not been as good as i had hoped! FIRST, they DONT ever tell ya that there are download limits, something about fair share use so one person isnt sitting there downloading all day, i guess... so i have been keeping track of my downloads, time and dl size, as i go merrily along my blog hopping and yesterday i came across a 90 megger that would have put me close to my 175 megs in a 4 hr time frame period...so i chance it cuz i am NOT at or over the 175 allowed and not only do i NOT get my download, it quit before finishing THEN the whole internet connection speed DROPS like a ROCK... it took longer to simply open a page than with dial up!!!!!! so DH calls yet AGAIN and finds out that not only do i have this 175 meg download LIMIT but now it seems they way he was told last night, that once i come even CLOSE to that limit, it WILL drop my internet connections for 24 HOURS before it resets!!!! WHEN WAS THIS RULE MADE!????????
we have been on that phone with them since Jan. no less than SIX times and NOW THEY TELL US THIS????!!!!!! OH MY GAWD!!! I AN SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NOT HAPPPPY!
so now i either have to watch my downloads EVEN CLOSER!!!!!!(where's the fun in THAT!???) OR use dial up for much of my downloads but then FEAR using broadband for bigger dls! what kind of service is this!!!!!????? i am so amazed that today NO ONE has to do a good job at anything they do!
oh well, i will keep it short on the ranting since i dont like the negativities myself :)
as for my new puter (yay!) i still havent installed anything on it, but DH & DS did get me online thru it (as much good as that does right now LOL) but i do plan on getting on it TODAY!
with soo many viruses and now this Vista crap that i DIDNT even want i really thought about getting a Mac.... my oldest son said he had programs that would allow me to work with my programs like cs2 and such but when it came down to it ... i was afraid of the time of learning something soo different from what i already know. :( but i got a really nice puter for me and tho i dont look forward to all that installing again...it is kinda nice to start so fresh. i might be able to get a grip on organizing THIS TIME! i try all the time and some how it always escapes me and the desktop always looks sooo messy and i can hardly ever find what i am looking for! LOL i am hoping to do better though.
and while i am on the subject....if ANYONE has a good way of organizing their CDs, PLEASE let me know... DH has burned off so many for me and OH MY GOODNESS i DREAD looking for something on them now!!! LOL there isnt enough space to write everything that is on a cd, on the cd and i dont have little envelopes (where i can list just about EVERYTHING on that cd and works good but oh sooo many of those gets NUTS!) so i am at a loss! i havent a clue on how to KNOW what's on which cd H E L P! LOL
