I reciently got transfered to a small town.. the only reason I took the orders to Fallon, NV is because the detailer in the navy told me the base was 30mins from vegas. Little did I know its an hour east of reno and the nearest Wendy's is 30mins away. I have to drive an hour to see return of the king tonight at midnight.
Anyway, that describes the small town I'm in and the internet providers in this area are just small time ones. (two diffrent ones to be exact) At some point in July03 one of their servers went down. and they went from having 55 lines to 14. and they called me and told me to disconnect because other people had to use the service also. I looked at my connect time and I had been connected for over a week on a dialup.. kinda funny. I told them I was paying for Unlimited internet service and that I did not have to disconnect. Well, they pulled the plug on me from their end and disabled my account for about 12 hours. I called them once I realized what had happened and complained. they said they did not do that. well, I had my redialer on auto every 1 second just to piss them off for the 12 hours.. eventually I got rid of their service and told others about my problem with them. Being in the military I got 6months free cable service out here so now I'm happy till I transfer.

They wear cute outfits and drive a giant advertising sign, while making soccer mom's feel all warm and fuzzy.
Oh yea, sure.. first we were afraid of giant mutant eyeballs with tentacles. Now we are afraid of Magical Evil 1's and 0's?
Can't wait to see that one happen.
