ya I sat on hold over a number portability issue with ATT for 5 hours or so. I didn't mind too much becuase I was driving from San Antonio to Dallas that day (a 6 hour or so drive) and I called 611 around Austin...and sat on hold untill I arrived back home dallas....still on hold....drove over to a local ATT Wireless store and asked for some help, They said call 611, I handed them the phone and said "I did" (and pointed out the call timer which was over 5 hours), their responce, oh, well try again, because there is nothing we can do to help you here. I was with Verizon before and believe me after this contract is up I'm off to Verizon or T-Mobile.
Hey don't knock my Powerbook 1400 SiR Type-R GT NOS. She's got a 117mhz 603e processor, with custom intake and exhaust, I also pulled off the rubber feet which dropped her, and gives her that "low rider" look......ya I think you can see what I think of this one....;)

Actually my first experience that I can remember is a Macintosh Plus around 86-87. It's rumored that we had an old Zeneth DOS machine back in the day, but I can't remember it. Anyway after that Mac Plus nothing else would do anyway....

I bought my T616 from ATT back in december because of it's bluetooth feature. Love it to death, it's got the camera midi's and stuff, but I got in on a promotion where it was free (it's $150-ish now) so I figured why the heck not. and ya I like it...now att on the other hand.....well they could learn a thing or two about customerservice....from riaa;)
This may be a duplicate post, BUT that isn't the mac introcuced back in '84! That's a mac plus that came out in either 86 or 87 (kinda rusty on that fact).
actually I used to work at walmart and I'm not sure how much longer they'll need tons of people around...I was a cashier. When they installed the "Self-Checkout" lanes, got to chat with the guys from the compnay, and train some of my fellow workers. I basicly bolied down to tring to tell people...press this....move that...grrr try explaining ANYthing semi-technical to those people. Anyway after another generation of those self-checkout machines, and RFID, the cashier will be pretty much obsolete. BTW those machines run Win2k!! and the POS app looks like it was written in VB!!
T616 from ATT here also, I absolutly love the bluetooth feature so I can load midlets on it without paying ATT, and without having to connect it to the computer (well with wires I mean) neat little phone....now att on the other hand...lets see were on day 38 on the number portability and STILL no service...can't wait for that first bill;)
Pretty much same story here, except it was a grammer test, and I read it into a recorder and listened to it everynight for a week while sleeping...end result....F

I'd be more intrested in a laser lawn mower. Less Noise, less weight to push around, etc. and I imagine that if you had a flat enough lawn you could mount it on a track on the side of the lawn, so all you'd have to do is push a button.
heh I had the Quadra 610 buddy! I was only in jr.high at the time (1997 or so) and I had to sell my bike and a ton of other stuff to afford the 16mb ram stick man.
ya know I'm still not sure that those things really work, I've spend lots of time tring to figure it out and never have been able. Started thinking it might be a conspiracy..another good case for the Conspiracy +1 mod....huh...oh and just to keep it on topic, ya I do agree that any other way then the horrible blue/red glasses would be cool.
haha, well XP seems to bluescreen on me 2-3 times a month...Kernel Stack Impage error IIRC. dumps the memory to the HDD, restarted and runs scan disk....it's not fun...
what about me then man? I hated pop in highschool and still dislike it in college? Led Zep, Pink Floyd, and some other classic rock bands are the only way to go! where do I fit in?
not sure if this is OT but it flows. I was look at/reading about diet sodas to see if I could cut out unnecessary calories from my diet. My roommate gave me a can of Diet Rite, with looks like a decent diet soda(no aspertane anyway) it tasted decent, but within 10 min I had the worst headache I've had in a good while. I have no clue what happened, but it totally broke all my willpower to cut out caffine, and also that of switching to diet sodas. anyone else with the same experience?
I have been looking myself for information about MIDP and information on writing midlets, and all I can find on google when I search for java and cell phones is "FREE RING TONES" and other assorted ads. There is such a thing as information pollution, and ya I've got a problem with it.
