Come to me!
My digital camera came back. It came back with a new main control board, a new main power board, and a new rear cover. It was cleaned and passed all tests.
Why do I get this feeling that it went for surgery and got some spa treatment before the released it?
In other news, I'm joining the digital revolution. I broke down and bought in on cable broadband last night and they have Monday as the scheduled delivery date of my gear.
Ian... aren't you in tech? Don't you "work with computers"? What are you still doing on dialup?
Well... I tried to get broadband access toward the end of 2000, when DSL finally came available in my area, but after four months of their tech support being unable to 1) answer the phone, and 2) telling me to power cycle the DSL modem over and over again, I gave up and sent it all back for a refund of my money. I scored a free NIC out of the deal, though. The timing being what it was, I didn't bother trying anything else, mostly because I was traveling extensive at the time and I couldn't justify spending gobs of money on Internet service that I would only see for less than 48 hours on weekends. So I waited, then I waffled, because I wasn't sure I was going to be in the same apartment for the duration of a year's contract and so on and so on.
Recently, I reread their agreement and pretty much resigned myself to the fact that, desire to move out of the area or not, I was likely not going anywhere any time soon. There. Now I have cable.
But I'm also looking for a cheaper place to live in Hoboken that allows cats. Anyone know of any places? Anyone know if there's a supermodel looking for a roommate?
