When I'm 64 (bit Windows)

[kaitou]

So, the continuing saga of my laptop. After dealing with a extremely unhelpful 'Case Manager' a few times I decided to make a sound file of the problem I was hearing. I decided to use The Beatles 'Help' to record it. (Irony, I has it) I send it off to them, fuming, FURIOUS with the tech guy. (Case Mgr: Gee, I don't know if I can make the tech guys listen to it. I just write reports) So I went whining to mewsrissicat.

mewsrissicat is a GENIUS!! SHE FIXED MY COMPUTER!! ( In device manager, go to Network adapters -> Broadcom adapter -> Advanced -> Disable Bands -> Disable 802.11a. 802.11a networks are old and uncommon)

And then, cherry on my sundae, my Case Manager called back.

CM: I got one of our tech guys to listen to your sound file. Very funny, very appropriate. We were having a Beatles comeback over here.
Me: I chose that one on purpose.
CM: Well, I've got one of our BEST techs on it. And this is going to be very time consuming, but I think we can get to the bottom of it.
Me: Actually I got a hold of a friend of mine, who does tech support for Dell, and she managed to fix it. (ok, the Dell thing is stretching it a tad, but I had to twist the knife)
CM: Oh.
Me: I guess my song should have been "I Get By With a Little Help From My Friends."

RISSICAT! YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

I might also clarify for the lovely folks here that you didn't "come whining to" me. I asked you how it was going, and you told me that the HP people were utter asses, and why they were utter asses.

Of course, this means that I had to publicly humiliate them. ^^;;
