Okay, this is another computer post, or partially one anyway, but really, it’s more of an American business post, plus other “stuff.”
Acer Monitors: I’ve had an Acer Display that is under warranty until February 2011. It works, but doesn’t receive input from my computer (I have dual monitors). In discussions with Acer Tech Support I was told that there is a software fix for this, but I would have to talk with a software tech…for a price. So, I’ve got a display that works, or so I’m told because when plugged in it flashes the Acer screensaver, is under warranty, but I have pay for assistance despite the warranty.
I understand that companies can’t provide free support forever, but please, this is a warrantied product and the company wants to charge for support for something for which it has a “fix.”
There are so many computer (and other products) around these days from which to choose, it’s not even the proverbial “New York Minute” that it took me to decide never again with Acer.
War: Certainly more important than computers. Congratulations and thank you President Obama for bringing the troops out of Bush’s Folly, also known as Iraq. I do not think that more than 15 percent of my nearly 70 years has been lived when this nation was not engaged in a war: WWII, Korea, Vietnam, a few dalliances south of our border, Iraq and Afghanistan. I think it is time for my children, both grown men and their children have a chance to live in a time when there is no war. Mr. President, get us out of Afghanistan, please.
MSNBC AND FOX: Yes, both in the same breath, 180 degrees apart. I’m tired of the pontification, though being and old Lefty, I don’t watch Fox very much, only to see what the opposition is doing. Both of you, find real experts – I’ve never seen so many ex-CIA agents come to the fore as I have on MSNBC. And, Glen Beck, please, try Prozac, Paxil, any psychotropic.
