First entry in forever...

Haven't posted in so long, and the longer I wait, the harder it is to jump in & post something. Wish I could still do this at work, because I run across so much stuff while surfing on the web there. Also, if I get responses, I have to wait until evening to reply

Well, if you think the ratio of thems that know to thems that don't is as high as one-to-one, you're more of an optimist than I am. Well, maybe not--I certainly get pissed off at people who screw up their jobs. But doesn't bother if the person acknowledges and apologizes for the error--everyone makes mistakes and I know how crappy I feel when I make one. So I think it's more lack of caring and responsibility that pisses me off.
Anyway, I'm really glad you're posting again

I said that it was at best 1 to 1. Though the truth is, if it's 50-50, that means you go into each transaction being unsure of the outcome. Will the cable guy come in the allotted time? Will the cable work once he puts it in? If there's more than one interrelated system to install: ie--to set up my computer I first had to set up the operating system, then the cable, then the wireless, will the set up discs work, or will I have to call? If I call, will I get someone who knows what they're doing or not
