I can finally print again!!!

Just had to share my joy. I have been doing overnights because I had printer/computer problems and was passing on edocs, was also having problems with AOL.

I called Computer Geeks, the technician came to my house. 2hrs. $300 later ( hey, I don't know computers) and I finally have both computers and the three printers running, one of which I have never printed anything on since I purchased it ( back in January).

I got to experience what borrowers experience when we meet them at their location, convenience!

ps. also learned that I can't retrieve email

from AOL once deleted.

AND that if I clilck Ctrl and push the little wheel on the computer I can enlarge the text here ( the posts). Prior to that everything but the actual post was comfortable to read, I was having headaches from reading the board.

He had the funny looking car, black and box shape. Sorry don't know about cars either. Yes, releived I can use them all now.

CalNotary, I thought you and Mung would get a kick out of knowing I will finally use the 55/wpm printer. :-)

Yes, it is a Volkswagen(been around forever) black, white and some yellow, how did you hear about them then, from the phone or TV commercials?

I think it's a different car.

It's not a Volkswagen ( those are the bugs , right?) it's a car that almost resembles a mini SUV but it's smaller and it's shaped like a box (similiar to Ice cream truck shapes maybe, but smaller car)

I had seem them driving around town. CntrlCalNtry had also mentioned Best Buy but when I looked in the phone book there were too many choices for computer services that I just went with Computer Geeks.

Yes, if it's a problem I had originally mentioned not a new one.

Re: Celebrated too soon,

I don't think AOL is compatable with what we do for the most part of this business as I also had my share of problem at the beginning with direct link to dload docs. Yahoo mail was ok until the worm and massive spam attack at end of last year. IMO...Gmail and POP are the best way to go now a day.

If you have cable/dsl from isp like SBC, Verizon, Earthlink, or Comcast then having aol is just a waste of money. I'd bet your problem will go away if you get rid of aol.
