Take THAT--Runaround!

AT&T has the best customer service system in the world. I mean it. They hire terrific people and you can reach some of them 24/7.

But that nice, ardent, professional woman and her good work is lost on me today because her phone makes her sound like she's way in the back of a shipping container she shares with a stepdown power transformer.

Still, in spite of this difficulty and others I've endured over the last few weeks, I was able to on this day:

*) Pay the first Wireless Internet bill for Rather Manor (although it was past due)
*) Correct the billing information for the Wireless Internet account (so it wouldn't bounce back like the first bill did)
*) Link the Wireless Internet account with the Landline account for Rather Manor so
*) We might be able to BUNDLE services and save some moolah

And I did it on ATT.com, whose veracity measures are needlessly difficult for legitimate users while still leaving gaping holes for cyberfraudsters. Tho' I doubt there can be a lot gained from the information available to the phone company and the individual endusers.

Writer's Block: Part deux

My kneejerk reaction is THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK. I mean, the duel between Luke and Vader in Bespin is worth the cost of admission alone. Then again...

* ZETA GUNDAM beats "First" MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM (I know, they're TV series, but both were remade as movies);
* THE WRATH OF KHAN still rules as the best STAR TREK movie ever made;
* the movie version of MACROSS PLUS beats MACROSS: DO YOU REMEMBER LOVE? in a few important catagories;
* SUPERMAN II is arguably the best of the Christopher Reeve Superman movies, if not the whole live-action body of work for the Superman franchise;
* THE PINK PANTHER STRIKES AGAIN is the funniest Pink Panther/Inspector Clouseau movie ever made...
