Masters in Electronics

OK - I cannot function in today's world - something my family and many others have known for a long time.

Time it took for me to get Internet connected: 14 hours (This one is not my fault...the cable people recorded the wrong modem number in their files.)

Time it took me to get cable connected to the television (and all I wanted was to be able to watch the news): 16 hours and 5 phone calls. You may not know this, but if the cable wall outlet is plugged into the TV/VCR outlet on the back of the cable box, and the splitter cable is plugged into the "signal in" outlet....the cable signal does not get to the television!

Time it has taken to get Airport Express working with the cable and the computer: INFINITY
FYI: While my brand new Airport Express is under warranty until next fall, I am not entitled to technical support! Strike 1 for Apple.

The good news is that I still get to set up my printer, wireless keyboard, mouse and DVD player!

I am coming back to Asheville and enrolling in AB Tech!
