Here is the First Rant

Brought to you by Dialup comments

Cause it may be edited later.

So Kristy and I have been Bantering back and forth on myspace.com and there I was looking at what we were saying and started Giggling my ass off. First the comment that started this Rant...

My way of Justifing it was Math and reason...
50 land line
29 AOL
30 Pager
5+ pay phone for calls when I was out
114 per month


51 Cell
50 Highspeed
101 a month
telling AOL to eat a dick Priceless

I mean we started a Geek site and you know what we earned it really we have. I remember my First computer.
(moment of rememberance.)
It was a Black Box laptop. 122 mhz pentium with 36 whole Meg of ram and 2 gig hard drive. It was so Cute the touch pad died loading windows the last time. "sigh" the memorys, I knew nothing about computers I will admit it so thanks to the Joys of AOL...this is the list of things that "Uriel" went thru.

*Excaliber~Trogan Horse~ Computer was a Freaking Month old Had just gotten it back from the shop for the mouse. where did it come from...my roomates first peice of email. No computer for 3 months if Arrived in the mail and I wasl Sweet I do own a computer!

*over 1200 peices on spyware. My response while sitting on the Floor in my Uncles Office...what is that. He was kind of Flipping out

*it was windows 95 and spitout AOL 3.0 like it was liver and onions. so it was automaticly get 4.0 every freaking time.

*WAOL~known by members at the time as Woops you bought AOL error. Known to knock you off line at anytime

*AOL itself the virus of the internet...it is worse then windows for fucking up your machine really I know. in the end what took down "Uriel" was Virus that AOL opened its Doors too.

*spam mail...ah nothing like chating with Friends and at the same time 23people say /spam and have something goofy go off cause we all got the same spam...PORN


Leaving was the best thing I did I still remember the final call with AOL. the 4th or 5th time I was calling to cancel "Uriel" was gone...really taken away from me too. Jim placed "Cloud-9" in my hands and took away "Uriel" I hear he was Buried(in a Trashcan somewhere) nicely.

By then of course my state of the art Machine that was obsolete 3 months after buying it and for one time I had forgotten I owned was in bad condition.

-Missing one A drive that at one point it decided there was a disk in and wouldn't let me in. thank you RedBot. it was a Boot CD Jim made

-the case Yeah it was recycled plastic I think so being 2002 it was falling apart and the look of horror on Jims face that I was using Duct tape and a hanger to keep the hinges up...hilarious.

-Dieing hard drive

-and one spazzy redhead freaking for 10 mins alone with her beloved internet cause well it was her Friend. sniff sniff.

So Jim and Brian handing me "cloud-9" oh I was in Heaven.

So the Phone call with AOL

Voice: thank you for calling AOL, how can I help you?
Me:I wanna cancel
voice:I am sorry to hear that what I can do today is...
me:(cutting her off)NO...I have called before I am not useing the Software or Program if you look I am only using webmail...I want to cancel
Voice:I see that but we have this offer I can give you
Me: already have it look
Voice: Oh I see...sorry but it is a good way to hold your email address in case you want it back
me: everyone is emailing me at hotmail I dont' care...I don't want the account
...5 min later.... me:Nope still don't want the account
Voice: but I have this other offer, You have been with us a long time we would hate to lose you as a customer.
Me: sorry AOL it is a Virus from the pits of hell and I am not loading it on my computer I refuse. I have cable now what do I need Dialup for I don't even have a home phone
Voice: we do have a Broadband package too
Me: how many times do I have to say no...Cause I am not going to get it and this is Really getting old can you just cancel my account.
Voice:FINE(Click)
Bitch hung up on me..I got a letter a few days later verifing I canceled the account still have it wanna see?

See Aol is the sign of the Devil still working in todays world.

But Our home is a geeks Paradise. It is all hooked up so don't expect me to tell you where we live No mooching...unless invited.

we got 4 computers, 2 Desktops Running P4's with between 3.0 and 3.4 gig of ram. the 3.0 ("Uber") has about 120 gig of Harddrive space. the 3.4("Area-9") I think 60.

2 laptops "cloud-9" and "FireFly"

"Cloud-9" is the old timer of the place but still a NICE machine P3 500 mhz with 30 gig of ram, portable usb burner, wireless card, and camera Docking station available(still in the box) also usb. "cloud-9" has earned its Pirate Flag on more then one occasion. It was out Pirating for over 2 years straight. You want something I have or had it and know where to get it. Only Threatened once for having Pirated info on my computer which I handled gracefully. I Deleted it calling the cable company and saying it wasn't on my computer...not mentioning that it had been.

Kicker who turned me in a fellow Pirate..cause I stopped there Download. They weren't sharing so fuck them.

"FireFly" is a HP nice machine I know it has on board wireless and is a p4 but it is my Roomies so I don't mess with it. though I do use "Uber" for Worlds of Warcraft and some other stuff mostly Surfing. I do all my stuff on "Cloud-9" till I can afford to get another laptop...and then we will have 5 computers mwhahahahahahaha.

If you haven't guessed we have Cable internet. with our own networking and Wireless Router. We have been told we have more Horsepower in our living room then most College computer laps have all together. This makes me proud knowing that now my computer doesn't even think of having the issues it ustos have. And just for good measure I wipe and reload the whole computer 2 times a year. :) Last time was so much nicer with the network to Dump my mp3's on.

Sad thing we have Digital TV too, but we might have broken the TV...woops. That or it was just old.
