Two simple words..... "Hold please." then you put the phone down and continue with your day. The phone will even beep loudly after they give up, telling you that you can now put your phone back on the hook.
I say if Saddam wants WMB as much as CNN says he does, then maybe someone should send him some.. I am sure there are lots of countrys that could spair 1 or 2, for such a worthy cause.
You have IE and Outlook... The installer probably took one look for something to screwup, and took pity on you. Or maybe he just couldn't think of any way to make it worse. I know that here (Vancouver Canada) installer for cable internet service is a VERY enty level job.
I have been saying for the past couple of months that flat panels will replace CRTs for monitors within 2 years. I think thay are being VERY conservative, it their estimates.
Are you single? And if you are, what are you doing this Saturday night?

I had one.. Gave it to my mother when I got my 386.
That machine with a copy of Wordperfect 5.1 and some POS dot matrix took care of all my mothers word processing needs for the duration of her schooling for her Psyhchology degree.
I still remember "upgrading" it with a Super Speedy V20 chip... Anyone rememeber the V20 chip? I wonder hat ever became of that machine.
WordStar rocks. I still remember some of the keyboard commands.. It was the first Wordprocessor I ever used. If you know how to use it, you can really fly using WordStar..

All real cars are rear wheel drive... As god intended it to be.
Did you ever think that there might be a reason for all the cool soothing blue?

You mean like E-mailing pictures of your butt to everyone you know during the office x-mas party?
I wouldn't trust the average MCSE to park my car.

That is why I haven't used valet parking since the dotcom bubble burst.

"Does M$ have a monopoly? Just look at your keyboard."
Not my keyboard... It is 20 years old, made by IBM, weights more than my desk, and has a great cilcky feel.
"Does MS really believe we are THIS dumb?"
I think the answer to this question is a heartfelt Yes.
