Ever since I upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 Home Premium a couple of months ago, my Internet wireless stick was having problems downloading it's software onto my new OS. I wracked my brain with the help of customer support to no avail. They eventually told me to reinstall Windows 7, and that might do the trick. But that didn't work either. So I decided to erase my hard drive last night and now the wireless broandband stick loaded it's software with success. It took me till 4am this morning to get the job done, but it was well worth it.

So today, I went out and got a 50 dollar Visa gift card and loaded my account with 40 bucks, good for one month. It's a great a deal, and it's about time this company finally came through with the unlimited high speed internet for only 40 bucks a month. They came out with the new deal about 3 weeks ago. Prior to this, in order to get a monthly plan, you had a choice of MBs to choose from ranging from 10 bucks for a measley hundred MBs, all the way to 1 Gig for 60 bucks. But If you like to watch videos like I do, it ate up the MBs really quick. Now I can enjoy unlimited Video, browsing and email for 40 bucks a month....Yahoooooooo!!!!....lol

I live in the Value Place Hotel chain, and their Internet is a dish, which is a total joke. It's only 20 bucks a month, but now I know why it was only 20 bucks a month. I now can turn in my Internet wire and save 20 bucks a month. S, for an extra 20 bucks a month I can have this wireless stick with high speed broadband internet without worrying about download speeds for videos. They don't have a booster for their signal, so during peak hours, and even during most of the non-peak hours, watching a video is almost futile. It used to take me 4 hours or more to watch a 42 minute episode of Hell's Kitchen on FOX's site. It was frustrating to say the least. And forget trying to download any programs or applications in a timely manner.

I can't mention the name brand, but If you want to PM me, I can give you the company that does this. Most of you probably know about this, but for those who don't, I'll let you in on it. You won't believe how many of my techie friends at work never even knew about this. They were overjoyed when I told them.

And the best part is....NO CONTRACTS !............NO CREDIT CHECKS !.........NO NOTHING !

There seems to be a new form of deception being used in Yahoo Mail. For the past few weeks, every so often, I'll get an email from someone I recognize, but when I click on it, it's a sales pitch that I recognize, but stopped clicking on a while back. In other words, the emails that I stopped clicking on weeks ago, have found another way to make me click on them, by pretending to be someone I trust. The strange part is that these emails are not malicious in any way. They were from earlier requests I made concerning opportunities I personally subcribed to, but was no longer interested in. So they got pissed that I stopped accepting them and now they're being sneaky.

Today I clicked on 2 different ones. One had a friend of mine's name in it, and the other was from a place I usually click on to see the latest info.

I woke up this morning feeling very weak and had a headache. I purchased a bottle of Tylenol at the store, but had a very hard time opening the lid. I looked at the label and realized why I had so much trouble opeining the lid. It was Extra Strength Tylenol...
