TECHNOLGY REALLY STINKS

I had great plans to tell you all about our trip back to Germany and everywhere else we went in '08, but when I got in that all changed.

John had been on the phone most of the day trying to get our old Att plan changed over to this supposedly new faster, easier no worry Att. plan that bundles your phone, cell phone, dish and computer services together. Sounds great doesn't it.

He had been but on hold and switched to a different opperator 11 time in an hour and 45 minutes. His face was so red I swear I thought he was going to have a stroke. This comes after he had spent 3 hours on the phone trying to get the computer to work the day before. He had to move everthing in the bedroom to find a spot that we could pick up a signal.

Well after finding out that this particular Att plan doesn't offer email service but we could get an account through Google, OK so this should be easy enough. I go to igoogle and set up an account. Then I go to paypal to change my email account with them. First it wouldn't accept by old acount to get in to change to the new one. After about an hour I am finally able to change to the new account and remove the old account.

I thought I will go to my blog.spot and unwind and bore everyone for a while. Well my new email address was on the sign in page and would not accept my old password. At this point I am about the blow a fuse. I am sitting in front of the computer cussing like a drunken sailor. I finally got on the blog page, I don't know how, I don't know if this will post or not, but at least I have vented my frustration on this darn keyboard.

What ever happened to the good old days when you had rotary dial phones, rabbit ears on your tv and a transistor radio hold to next to your ear and keep you company?.
