We officially signed up for Direct TV today. We have wanted to reach through the phone line and throttle the comcast employees for more than a year now. I am a horrible procrastonator. Well... today was enough. I want a DVR. I want to watch movie channels. I want to watch the Oxygen network. I want to veg in front of the "TUBE" with a blanket and a cup of coffee. I want to finish an entire show without it getting fuzz or scrolling "we are currently doing upgrades in your area, sorry for the inconvinence". LOL
SO... I am now saving money! I actually decided to reduce my download speed on my internet service too. Do I really need to pay $46 to download things about 60 seconds faster. No not really. I can pay $35 and put in a load of laundry during a download. :)
Oh... I also got a free YEAR of Showtime (9mns. more then the advertised deal). Yep... I can be a *itch at times. But, if your company advertises "NO out of pocket money" to sign up, then please don't ask me to a pay a fee for "shipping n handling" of the equipment. I happened to tell dh, (while on the phone with the sales guy) that "they weren't quite HONEST in their ad... GO FIGURE!" they want $19.95 for shipping. The guy says "let me see if I can wave that fee." Of course, they can't. Well... "No, wait... (the guy says) I can charge you for the s/h ing BUT give you another 9 mns of Showtime FREE!" OK... that works for me!! "Sign me up!" LOL
Dh's friends wants me to call them back and re-sign them up, now. LOL
So... that is my news for today. Oh, and my computer is STILL getting adware, trojans, and worms. UGH!!! Anyone know a CHEAP computer repairman? LOL
Gotta have my Coca-Cola!!

About your computer..........you need to run spyware scans and virus scans through out the say. Each time you visit a site, you are tagged. This is what our cable/broadband guy told us. I have not had any problems until Hayley was playing a game for hours and I had not run the scan for two days. You don't need to pay a repair man. Find spyware software, I use two that are free. email me for the info. Also, as you know, you can back up your files and go back to factory settings. Mine is all better now. ;)
