I know that in the past I have been an advocate for Vonage. I had good experiences with them and their service until I made the mistake of trying to switch to a new vendor. Now I have to classify them as a huge scam. In the shortest terms possible I ported to a new company on the 13th of July and they billed me for the next month on the 17th. I was ( Read more... )

Needless to say the frelling plate is too loose in its slot so at the point at which you try to put the screw in it falls out and goes under ( Read more... )

In the original Star Trek was an episode where there's a planet being destroyed and people are being evacuated by viewing historic discs and going back in time to the point recorded. You never see the librarians name so I'm not totally embarrased that I didn't connect this sooner. The librarian is named Atoz (AY-tawz). A-to-Z. Because he's a ( Read more... )
