I bought my son a verizon v cast phone for xmas with the v cast kit and have yet been able to get it to work, after an hr. on the phone to verizon, downloading drivers and deleting files and even turning off Norton's. They say it's my computer?? well I have no plans of purchasing one anytime soon and my relatively new(1 yr old) apple laptop isn't compatible.I give up. you have to be rich to keep up with this technology. if i had 500 for the new i phone i guess i would be all set. sorry for ranting here.rdlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04062856086277201874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19673259.post-88917017981256243882007-02-13T15:13:00.000-06:002007-02-13T15:13:00.000-06:00Don't worry everyone's pagerank has been up and do...Don't worry everyone's pagerank has been up and down at the moment.

And the commercials always start when I'm concentrating on something. Ah well... but thanks for your suggestion. (What are you doing, stealing my act?)<BR/><BR/>Lawfrog -- I'll try accuradio.<BR/><BR/>Ladeedah -- I know there's too much on the Start menu. I haven't added anything mind you; the programs add themselves on installation -- and I never know what to safely delete. It is a bother. But I don't think this is the problem here.<BR/><BR/>Fence -- welcome! Does this mean that, because you used the button you might come back? Well then that's a good thing, isn't it?<BR/><BR/>And MJ -- the kids have iPods and I can't figure them out at all either. I can't even <EM>see</EM> the screens.<BR/><BR/>And Stewart -- I understand and even agree with your point. But it's so much more fun when people read and respond, isn't it?<BR/><BR/>Barb -- thank you for the suggestion. I have defragged recently and I'm relentless about clearing out temp files, etc. It's just this WMP 11 is a huge memory hog and I don't know why it should be. And I'll have to try clicking on the rank thing at home.

The result, a faster computer but a slower user as said user spends three weeks trying to find all her freakin' stuff.... oh wait... that's my rant.Lahdeedahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08310770349703287189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19673259.post-55719517209720060692007-02-12T21:16:00.000-06:002007-02-12T21:16:00.000-06:00Page Rank, Blogger Roll, etc...I've come to a deci...Page Rank, Blogger Roll, etc...I've come to a decision. I'm going to stop worrying about getting readers to my blog and instead just enjoy myself. I'm going to post when I feel like it, and read peoples' work when I want to. Blogging should be fun.
