Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

meara,

I cannot remember where you live, but Sprint's coverage was ass when I was traveling in CA this summer.

Verizon & ATT are both the antiChrist IMO. They nickel and dime you to death.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I had no complaints with Sprint, I switched to Verizon because I wanted a Droid. My contract was up in August, but I plan to stick with Verizon for the new Samsung (which I hope will be released soon), and because I am grandfathered in with an unlimited data plan. With Sprint I think you can still get unlimited data on a new contract.

I haven't had any problems so far with Sprint, except for Yellowstone, where Verizon & ATT had better coverage. But I would only do Sprint if, like me, you want to use Virgin Mobile for the $$ savings. But then you'd be limited in your phone choice.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I use Verizon, but only because of the coverage area, which is vastly superior to the others in rural areas like mine.

I also use Verizon and stuck with them for the coverage.

I'm on AT&T and haven't had major problems and I've had good customer service out of them on the whole.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

1st world problem. As Comcast victims customers We get a number of channels on On-demand we don't get as channels. For example I was able to watch Dr. Who because it is on demand on BBC America, even though I can't watch BBCA on the regular channel. TCM used to be like this for us. And then it suddenly changed to telling us "only with subscription".

And tech support told me that we were never supposed to be able to get TCM on demand. Which means one of these days we will not be able to get BBCA either, and then no more Dr. Who. Oops. Any chance this is not true? Cause I have to admit that it makes sense that if you don't subscribe to a channel they don't want you to see it on demand either.

Gaaaah, Windows Live Mail imported my old mail just fine, but I can't get it set up to actually download my new mail. At first, it started downloading immediately, starting with the most recent mail, and then it stopped, with an error. A couple restarts of the program later, it started going at it again, hanging every now and then but then chugging along. Until it finally quit, giving this error over and over:

Unable to send or receive messages for the Cmail of Polter-Cow account. Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity.

Server: 'mail.comcast.net'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC0F
Protocol: POP3
Port: 995
Secure(SSL): Yes

I've gone back and forth between the secure and non-secure settings, using the default/suggested ports, and I can't get it to start downloading again. At some point, I was even getting log-on errors and had to reset my password for some reason because it wasn't working anymore. And a couple times, it has suddenly started to "Receive e-mail," but it's just a fakeout because I get the error again.

I'm so tired and sleepy. Why won't this just WORK?

OUTLOOK FUCKING EXPRESS COULD HANDLE THIS SHIT.
