Mac Pros are for software developers and graphic designers, not for a PC

It's approximately equivalent to what I have on my desk. I don't have a Xeon in this machine, but the graphics cards make up for the pricing differential.

I think I just made the girl in retentions go into a spitting fit.

Had to be transferred to the supervisor.

harhar, I did that last week.  I was able to broker a deal that got me 15 dollars off my average bill from the last 12 months, with better services.

I threatened to switch to Dish or Uverse.  I don't even have access to Uverse.

I actually said "there's no reason to get upset.  It's just TV."

I didn't really get upset.  After the month I've had, that was too petty anyway.  I just told them I'd switch.  They would either deal or wouldn't.

They dealt.

I recently went to U-Verse internet.  I got a better monthly deal brokering it through DirecTV since I'm already a subscriber.  I was told the installation, router, modem, or whatever else they used to install the internet would be $200 but after four weeks that would be refunded to me.

Now I get emails from U-Verse saying that if I change over to U-verse TV (ain't gonna happen) I'll get my $200 back.  I wonder if DTV was aware that's how AT&T intended to do an equipment refund to their customers?

Why I quit dealing with AT&T.  The bait and switch.  I have cell phone with them, but only because I started service back when they were still called Cingular.

The representative started raising her voice and asking "Why would he say that?" after I told her what the previous rep told me.  It's so unimportant to me that it wasn't worth her blowing a rod.

I asked to be escalated so she could go get some water or whatever.

Ripping off your graphic yet again:



Is that twice in a week now?

The saying in the biz is "Babies aren't going to die, it's just cable"

Thanks, I'll use that on the next call.

I don't have netflix, but an attractive pal or two have it and it gives me good reason to go over because the vast amount of choices and the convenience. I have Dish and were it not for the SIRIUS feed, the sports, and the HBO stuff I'd just have basic cable and netflix. It won't be long before we can customize our TV using our smart phones.
