B.Ob. Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 Only dumb people would purchase that...and there are a few. If there weren't any, we wouldn't have jobs.....

Wargasm Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 Thats for sure. Thats why Gateway and Dell are still in business...not to mention AOL Then again, Adelphia doesnt let you guys fix things like we did for Verizon, its cheaper for them to 'pass the buck' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
