It's the same axe Abraham Lincoln used. It's only had three new heads and six new handles.
You have the emotional maturity of a blueberry scone.

That's some seriously bad luck. I don't think I've ever had a video card fail. I've had a couple of power supplies fail, but that was before I started making sure I bought good ones.

I've actually had two video cards fail, but this is a high end HDMI-enabled Media Center. The replacement card this time has its OWN fan, because its intended for game and video-production use.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
That's some seriously bad luck.
Tell me about it. Or maybe it's me and I have a computer components equivalent of a Black Thumb. The machine was running fine before I messed with the memory stick this time, so it must be something I've done, right? *sigh*
The video card fail though -- that was not me! Not sure what the hell happened there.

Sophia,
is your mother paying for the subscription on a credit card? If so, you might go through them and dispute future charges if the MSN people give you guff.

I am paying for it on my credit card! But that is an idea. This was to tide her over until she could get roadrunner, which she now has.

document your attempts to cancel the service and then dispute the next charge.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Is there a Twitter app (desktop and iPhone) that can remember where you stopped reading and sync between both platforms?
I like Tweetie but it only remembers the last thing I read on the desktop, and not on the phone. I want to be able to switch back and forth. (The other factor that complicates things is at work where I can't install anything so I just use Twitter.com...any way I can sync between the site and a desktop/mobile app?)
