Computer Crash

[R. Richard]

My computer crashed. The problem would cost more to fix than the old computer is worth.

I bought a new eMachine desktop. It won't connect to the Internet. I call support. They must have a serial number, which isn't on the machine. I get a serial number from the store and another from the box in which the computer came. They then tell me that the serial number is for a monitor. I ask which serial number? They can't answer the question. They then refer me to a web site. I point out that I can't connect to the web site since that's my problem.

I'm billing them for my time. If you want to buy an eMachine, I would suggest that there's a do-it-yourself root canal kit available in the 'Net. It's cheaper and lots more fun.

Check inside the cover, if I remember right.

Also remember, opening the cover voids the warranty.

Get a Mac.

You mention no problems understanding them, so your eMachine must come with premium English service. I'm impressed.

I always get Indians who sound like youre squeezing a chicken too hard.

I did all my communication via e-mail, chat (real-time e-mail). It was useful, since I knew that I had to avoid calling the 'technician' a crude motherfucker.

I then went to Best Buy and the Geek Squad told me how to solve the problem.
