Verizon sucks me in for another two years

Post #341,370 by rcareaga 4/6/11 9:05:11 PM Reply	Verizon sucks me in for another two years I've been pleased with my little Mifi thingie, by which means I can, as they say, "surf the internet" at work without the interference of of BrainDead Systems' truly braindead firewall. They called up today to offer me the latest-and-greatest, which is to say, 4G vs. 3G (said to be noticeably brisker), and ten bucks a month off the previous rate. Upgrade is free 'cept for California sales tax on what would have been the price paid or payable. All I had to do was agree to another two-year term. Evading the BDS firewall has been well worth two bucks a day hitherto. What's not to like? cordially,

As I've probably mentioned, I use the device principally to avoid having to deal with BDS' sippy-cup data pipeline and idiotic, arbitrary firewalls, but it has come in very handy as a mobile access device times past. cordially, The GPS unit was operating on its original data set, and was accordingly eight years behind on its geography. It tried to take us through the Cardinals' new ballpark in St. Louis. A major highway in North Carolina had been re-routed; GPS took this to mean that we were barreling across plowed fields, or that perhaps it had been stolen and installed in a tractor, and pleaded piteously for us to reconsider. We took to calling the device "Eleanor," short for Ele*vated anxiety, not on route.
