A few weeks ago a friend of me messed up his internet/voip connection, he messed up some settings in his modem. So I reset the modem to defaults, and internet worked again, but voip didn't, I needed a proxy server, SIP ect. He's got a pretty bad ISP, got it from some door to door salesman (pretty stupid if you ask me...) No information what-so-ever on the site, so I phoned the helpdesk, got a nice girl to, and asked for the information I needed. Five minutes later she got back to me and told me some number, I asked what it was and she replied: "I have no idea, but this is what I'm seeing on my screen right now" Just great :/ On 16/11/06, Mario Reif wrote: > Two years ago i had a similar situation with the HP support :-) > > My DDS-DAT Drive was broken and i called the HP support.

Time and again I am reminded that "common sense" is very far from being common! You'd be surprised how many people don't even know what color their shirt is if you ask them and tell them they can't look.

[ of course, even with borland's "turbo_c++_suite", dos_6.2 did not enhance my coding experience; at least, not after that vax-11/780 running bsd_4.2 [ bert.eecs.uic.edu; it also had eight megs of core ] that got me through grad school, but, i digress. ] the thing worked so well, i still use it, although it's no longer alone. anyway [ end of 1997, i think ], i ordered a bunch of "technical" books from hp. you know the ones: pcl_5, pjl, gl/2. [ wowie_zowie, none of the line printers i've known ever did THIS!!! ] i recall that it was in the neighborhood of $90, with sales tax. unfortunately, i included my local tax, when all they wanted was my state base rate [ their info didn't make this clear ]. so, i overpaid by about a buck. now, i think in terms of keeping my customers happy. it's good word_of_mouth public_relations. if i was as big as they are, i know that my check_cutting costs are going to be as low as those of anyone. the invoice should have a line: "refund [ check enclosed ]". [ iirc, the smallest check i've ever received was for a dime. i --have-- seen smaller. ] at the very least, enclose a credit memo, whydoncha. but, hp is one of the elite; we all know about the arrogance of elites. seared into my brain, ever since the day the product arrived, are the words i found on the invoice/packing_list: price adjustment the word "euphemism" comes to mind. it's a shame it didn't happen later. then, i could blame carly fiorina. ciao. rob spellberg woodstock, illinois Mario Reif wrote: > Two years ago i had a similar situation with the HP support :-) > > My DDS-DAT Drive was broken and i called the HP support.
