CH>RN> The last time I was on I-10, it didn't go into Georgia.  (-:  Maybe
CH>RN> you're talking about a different "10."
 
CH> It doesn't. I meant the truck was on there and IT went to Georgia.
CH> Not us. :) WE were on 10 all the way to what was it.. in Pensacola I
CH> think .. then it was 20 Or something. But a different sort of route
CH> because there's 20 that goes all the way across the top half of
CH> Texas .. AH I think I need a refrsher wrt those routes.
 
I-10 goes all the way to Jacksonville.  When I was coming back from Pompano
Beach, I took I-95 to J'ville and hung a left at I-10 there.  I did stop
there long enough to get gas and then it was I-10 west to Alabama, where I
enjoyed some impressive rest stops in the FL panhandle along the way.  I
found an IHOP open just outside of Mobile (I had already gone through the
Bankhead tunnel) and lo and behold, the gal who waited on me was from
Houma. I asked her if she commuted (pretty silly question, now that I think
about it) and she said she only went home for the weekends.  Must have been
some other attraction in that tiny city for her to get a job as a waitress
at an IHOP.
 
I wanted to visit with a friend of mine in Gainesville, but I longed to get
back home and I didn't even make the short drive from PB to Miami to see my
sister, so I kept going.
 
CH>RN> That sounds like what you get when you call BellSouth.
 
CH> OH. Thanks for the warning! LOL.. I think it's true anywher..and if
CH> YOU DO get to a human , he or she is prolly in India.
 
Sometimes I have to call DirecTV for one thing or another, but they taught
me how to skip some steps early on.  They aren't anywhere near as bad as
BS, though.
 
CH> To be fair though. MY bro is a tech support person and says, 99
CH> percent of the time the problem is sitting at the keyboard. (blush).
 
What he didn't tell you is that when you call in a problem with Dial-up
support, if that's what you have, is that the front line of tech support
doesn't know as much about it as you do.  They will ALWAYS want to go
throught your setup with you and I used to hang up on them and call back
ten minutes later and ask for a supervisor.  They MUST grant that request.
 
The telephone support people are a whole different animal.  The support
there is VERY minimal because humans cost money.  So, the customer suffers
because of the so-called economic crunch the phone company says it is in,
whether real or imaginary.
