I prefer Chrome       over the other others but haven't used anything but FF in a long time.              > I was talking to 'tech support'               Most of those guys are early 20 somethings and know little or nothing of       the older programs.        There have been times I've had to call Comcast tech support for some       problem (usually dealing with a connection, or lack thereof). Being an early       riser I found if I call between 0530-0700, I get in on the second ring.        Huntington has a free wifi service, from Comcast, which I can use on my       laptops and phone. Plus my free account with Marshall.        Most of the problems I've had not connecting with my PC, which is hard       wired, is weather or accident related with downed lines, etc.        One time it went out and after a day or so I called. That was on a       Friday morning and Sunday about noon a repair guy was here and turned out my       old       modem had died. Got a new one (which has a router) and back in business.         I was really surprised when they sent a guy out on a weekend. He said       with so many people working during the week Comcast started that a few years       ago. Better then having to take a day off and wait all day on them or have a       neighbour waiting on them for m        Joe       --- Platinum Xpress/Win/WINServer v3.0pr5        * Origin: Fidonet Since 1991 www.doccyber.org bbs.docsplace.org (1:135/392)       SEEN-BY: 1/120 123 14/0 15/0 18/0 25/0 21 30/0 80/1 90/1 103/705 105/81       SEEN-BY: 106/201 116/116 120/340 123/0 25 40 115 126 131 160 180 190       SEEN-BY: 123/200 755 129/305 135/300 366 371 379 382 383 384 385 388       SEEN-BY: 135/390 391 392 153/7715 154/10 218/700 221/1 6 222/2 226/30       SEEN-BY: 227/114 229/424 426 428 452 664 700 240/1120 5832 249/206       SEEN-BY: 249/307 317 400 250/0 1 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 21 261/1466 263/0       SEEN-BY: 266/512 280/464 282/464 1038 292/854 299/6 300/4 301/0 1       SEEN-BY: 301/101 113 123 317/3 320/219 322/757 335/364 341/66 342/200       SEEN-BY: 396/45 633/280 640/1321 712/848 920/1 3634/0 12 15 24 27       SEEN-BY: 3634/50 5020/1042 5058/104       PATH: 135/392 300 3634/12 250/1 301/1 229/426           |
