The last thing we did was scour the website for an actual phone number for customer service. They didn't make it easy to find. After they were finally able to leave, I called customer service. I got a guy whose accent was so thick I could barely understand him*. Apparently he didn't understand me, either. He wouldn't let me talk, then kept trying to tell me that my antivirus had expired in January 2004. I got his supervisor, who had an accent but I could understand her. She transferred the account, and told me that my account would now expire in 2007. Apparently they added the new account to the old account, but I would not be charged again. Not sure why, maybe because I was pissed?

I didn't get to everything I wanted to do with it. I did go online and downloaded ad-aware and winamp. I still have some software to install, as well as try out the CD and DVD burning capabilities. I still have to get another damn KVM because the one I have (which is less that 4 years old) is for PS/2 instead of USB. It's an expense that I didn't foresee, but whatever. Maybe someone will buy it (and my old printer and scanner) on ebay. Did I mention how fast the thing is? And quiet. I have to look down at the lights to see if it's doing anything. Of course, anything is quiet compared to an 8 year old Gateway.

*I hope I'm not turning into my Dad. I'm certainly not one to fault someone for their accent (especially considering some of the teachers I had at Chattahoochee Tech).
