  1. Thank You.

    It is probably best not to proceed unless it is very easy.

    I was actualy asking on behalf of someone else.

    Three times within the last two weeks someone has changed there eBay and facebook passwords.

    They live alone , no one else uses the computer and they insist they are picking passwords that no one should be able to guess.

    I don't think they are very computer savy though so it is probably better if they take the computer into a repair technician rather than do it themselves.

    If it is an easy removal tool to use though by all means post a link.

    But if it is complicated they are probably better off taking it into a repair shop.

    But thank you for responding.

  2. Thank You :D

    Now that I have an actual address and telephone number for them I have signed up online.

    I will be saving about $50 per month on my basic telephone and internet as well as between $150 and $200 per month in long distance charges.

    I was just dubious of signing up with a company that would have an incorrect telephone number on their home page.

    I have to wonder how many potential customers they have lost because of this.

  3. I tried to switch my telephone and internet to "Primus Canada" yesterday

    http://www.primustel.ca/en/residential/off...ll/index-b.html

    On their home page you see a telephone number at the bottom left of the screen that says.

    Order by phone 1-866-704-4269

    Well when I call that number I do not know if it is even "Primus" I am connected to because I get a message that requires me to enter a password before proceeding any further.

    What sort of Telephone Company would put a Telephone Number on their home page for the order desk that does not connect to the order desk????

    Yes there is an option to order online but I don't think I want to deal with a telephone company that doesn't know there own telephone number.

    :D

  4. When you go to a site that gives you a drop down menu giving you a list of years of birth and it goes back to 1900 or something I am always tempted to use the contact button and tell them I was born in 1899 why am I being descriminated against :D

  5. I see homeless people using the computers in my Library to keep in touch with family.

    They wouldn't be able to get eMail addresses if every company had the same policy as Yahoo.

    I like gmail because they don't ask for your address or telephone number or any other stuff that isn't necessary.

    Yahoo seems to want your whole life story :D

  6. <B>"Just a little confused coz you said you already had an account but are also signing up. "</B>

    I have had my account since 2006

    I don't see where I said I was signing up?

    It isn't realy a problem for me it just sounds kind of silly.

    If and when they do lock me out I will give them my work eMail address.

    I realize I could always get another address to satisfy them but I look at it this way.

    I know several people including my sister who don't have internet service they only use public computers.

    If every eMail service required an alternate eMail address then those people would never be able to get an eMail address.

  7. It is something they have instigated recently.

    I don't know if it is a requirement of signing up or not because I have had my account since 2006 but I assume it would now be a requirement to sign up.

    They want an address for password reset purposes.

    I am calling there bluff and NOT registering one.

    I have a premium Yahoo account I pay for it I also have a Pro Flickr account that I pay for.

    If they lock me out of services I pay for then I will expect a refund. :D

  8. Why does Yahoo require me to register an alternate eMail address? :D

    I have a Yahoo eMail address but I keep getting messages telling me that I will be unable to log in and use my account unless I attatch a second eMail address to it.

    What is the logic behind this? :)

  9. I listen to Internet Radio a lot.

    As well as listening on my computer I also have a Sangean Internet Radio.

    Will the audio quality or reception be impacted if I switch to a slower internet speed?

    At present (on a good day) I have a Download Speed of 7Mbs and an upload speed of 1.0Mbs I am thinking of switching to a cheaper internet service with a downspeed of 640 Kbps.

    Thank You

  10. I just use the firewall that comes with "Norton"

    I like it because it makes the decisions for me.

    The first computer I had in 2003 came with "Zone Alarm" and it drove me crazy I kept getting pop ups every few minutes asking me if I wanted to let such and such access port number such and such.

    I didn't have a clue what any of it meant and I was such a newbie I had the computer for about 4 or 5 months before I found out that I could remove "Zone Alarm" and instal something else if I wanted...
