My cable modem, which used to connect to Comcast, now connects to Road Runner High-Speed Internet. What's different about Road Runner High-Speed Internet? Well, the Internet connection goes out every now and then…and e-mail often doesn't go through…and the Road Runner home page is so loaded with complicated Flash animation that it doesn't load properly…and you can't get anyone on the phone for Tech Support…and I'm getting ready to see if I can find some sort of Wile E. Coyote software that can kill the damned Road Runner.
Several e-mails — including an important one from one of my lawyers that he's now re-sent several times — have never arrived. Of course, we have a double disadvantage in that transmission because he just got converted to Road Runner High Speed Internet, too. As a matter of fact — and I'm not kidding about this — the system seems most likely to lose the most important messages. The Cialis vendors are all getting through with no problem.
This is obviously a variation on the chip that's installed in all printers…you know, the one that makes them more likely to jam when the pages you're printing out are of vital importance and have to be done in two minutes.
