I'd've made ME upside-down, & Vista inside-out & upside down.

I have a freeware proggy called Chrome that works just fine, & if I need an  alternative browser to test/rule out something, I have Firefox.

I sdtill recall  the time my dialup was repeatedly being kicked off line by a  loud electronic noise.

I was talking to 'tech support' & they were going to help me install an older  Mozi9lla product, to set it up for email checks to keep "data flow" through my  modem.

I pointed out that I was using a binary sucker & there was constant flow of  data 24/7.  He says I need to check email to ensure data. I explained that data equals bytes in transit.  He then says, & I quote, "I'm not going to argue the  definition of data with you, sir."

I finished with, "No,. you're not, because I just TOLD you what it is." then  hung up.  I immediately sent an email(via DOS app) to the ISP demanding they  sevewr all internet services immediately, with billing to end as at the  previous midnight, & explained the issue I had with the moron they hired in  tech.

It was so.  As far as I was concerned I let them off easy with only a half  day's per diem for a financial penalty.  I debated claiming the entire month,  but I didn't want to start a new discussion with those idiots. I just wanted it cleared out & my line/number open to go to another dialup ISP.
