I don’t know how she did it, but by the time I got home from work last night, Angela had already been on the phone with RoadRunner support and had the modem all ready for me to transport back to their office in exchange for a new one.

I don’t know what sort of sweet talking she had to do to get to Level 3 support and get them to see the bad modem that quickly, but I am impressed!

    I missed this over the weekend, but Dwight Silverman does a good job of breaking down the $100 PC available during the Thanksgiving Shopping spree. Surprise, surprise, the $100 for a PC really isn’t quite the deal it appears to be. It would be nice if retailers could go the route Dwight suggests, and just…
