Don't get in a snit. It's internet lingo.

If anyone wants to split a seam laughing, email me and tell me you want the REDNECK LINGO mp3 file from Jeff Foxworthy. I can zip it down to a little over 2 MB.

And don't worry ... I've got more viruses protection on this system than a squirrel has nuts hidden in the ground.

site.    I used to see people post on the word board and then end it with TIA.  I thought they meant they were having a brain farct, but what it means in thanks in advance. 

I would not pay the home office internet price unless they offer something incredible, for example, guaranteedd 24/7 service.  My cable internet company wanted me to switch over to business and when I asked what the difference in services was between paying 39.99 per month and 80.00 per month, I was told I would get first priority on service visits.  Really, I just kind of laughed at the guy...they wanted me to pay twice as much for a quicker service call (BTW, an average wait for a service call is 24 hours or so anyway). 

Anyway, I would not even mention the office use; residential use is the same thing. 

Good luck.. Jamie

I was put on an ophthamology account; I figured I'd need a book...  Nope, I've been using Google and getting by just fine.  There are plenty of sites. 

Try this site:  http://www.mtdownloads.com/

Books are so costly, and yet we can get just as much information from the internet if we search the right sites.  I wouldn't buy any books until you start the accounts. 

Call waiting can also affect it if you don't turn it off in your dialup settings.  Before I get technical, do you use dialup, DSL, cable or something else?

!

Does anybody use ATT/SBC DSL?  If so, how is it?

I have Insight (cable), and I have a problem with no internet connections at least once every 2 weeks and thinking about switching.

Thanks!

I need to fax my cable bill to my company.  Anyone know if there is a site which I can do this?  I'm using XP, does it have a program.  I can't seem to make heads or tails of this and thought someone could lead me in the right direction.  I already have my scanner hooked up.

Thanks.

My kids are 14, 16 and 19.  The 19 year old comes home on the weekends from school with his laundry and laptop.  I figure at his age, he has seen more than I want to know about and what happens at school stays at school.

My daughter is 16 and chats constantly and has a my space account.  She doesn't do much surfing, just chatting and I know most of her friends personally and if I ask who she's talking to, she tells me.

My son is 14 and has little or no interest in the computer except for the occasional game, but likes to look at ebay for 4-wheelers, scooters and cars he will never own until he gets a good job. 

We used to have to limit the time for the 2 oldest ones when my son still lived at home fulltime because it sometimes came to blows. 

Any MTs left that only have dialup internet available to them?  Bellsouth said we would get it in 2-3 years (big wow).  I would like to change MT companies but cannot find anyone who accepts dialup internet.  I could probably get satellite but I notice many companies won't accept this either.  What's a girl to do?
