Law #1: When people want IT work done by someone else, it is always incredibly easy to do and just takes x amount of money.
Law #2: Those same people can not update their own AV software even after you give them a how-to document with screenshots.
"Eh Rogers eh? You hosers hosed my internet connection eh? You guys are real sucks. Puke-breaths. Take off! Gimmie a toasted back bacon, hold the toast."
Was actually buying it from out of town but got a great deal so was willing to buy it and pay shipping.
After 2 weeks with no word on the shipping, I began calling on average once a day trying to get a hold of anyone from that department to find out what was going on. It was xmas season and they were so busy I couldn't get anyone on the phone. 6 weeks later (!) I got a call from the guy who sold it to me saying they had forgotten to ship the tv and stereo.
The next thing I heard was another 2 weeks later, when some no-name shipping company called to say my tv had been stolen from their loading dock.
Now did I specify to BestBuy that I wanted the shipment insured? Yes. Was it? No. At that point I said don't ship me anything, not even the stereo that was still on the loading bay. I called visa and got the charge reversed on the basis that I had paid for tv and stereo and gotten neither after almost 3 months.
So they shipped the stereo anyway, of course. It took 3 or 4 months after that to straighten everything out between BestBuy, visa, and myself.
I like science as much as the next guy, but when zombie's start playing peek-a-boo with me I'm heading for the hills!
Please don't tell me you have experienced all of this while living in the same house, one that was built on an Indian burial grounds...

Yes, a friend told me about that and it sounded really interesting. Now go back to your igloo! Har har!

I am going to call and give them my feedback.
I am an angry Canadian! Rar!

Bought a home entertainment system, complete.

Well kudos to you that you can be analytical about it all! It is fascinating either way.

99% of people probably wouldn't notice if you switched the entire box as long as you left the kvm
this is a non-IT mom, keep it real, she ain't checking the back of the box
ps, there are software keyloggers - i've successfully used them
tee hee :) that's funny
