Add yet another thing to the list... Early this morning, my computer decided it had enough it seems, first the game I was playing locked up, I thought okay, it hit a bad code or something my system didn't like, so it wants me to reset it... I hit the manual reset button, just as it's about to check for drives it shuts off... I flip the switch off, looking and feeling for anything overheated or any smoke, as my computer has literally caught fire three times before, but this time nothing, no overly hot pieces in the machine, so we flip it back on by switch, hit the power button and nothing...
All in all, I think my dinosaur kicked the bucket... Right now I am on hubby's computer, and will be switching to the laptop later on today...
Another thing happened last night, the connection went, and when we tried to dial in, it told us the user name and password were incorrect... This morning, upon calling the provider, we come to find out, that we have used all 200 hours, which is odd, since we "thought" our month started on the 13th, the day we pay for the service... WRONG!!! No matter what time of the month we pay, the hours are from the 1st to the end of the month... And as some of you know, hubby has been alpha testing a new online game, and spending a lot of time doing so, which is why we burned through those 200 hours... As they say, it's not a dedicated ISP, as we are only allowed 4 hour connections, can not download programs larger than 2 megs, unless it's a server update, in which it's coming from the site or program, then it's not an issue... So we are looking into another ISP, as we are paying $16 a month for this crap, and this was the final straw that broke the camels back, so to speak...
I have rambled enough, I am off to go check into other options... as we were given 30 extra hours, which isn't all the much to last til the end of the month.... ~RME~
