It's probably typical for tech support everywhere, but there are just
horror stories about people calling for tech support from my ISP.
Grade two drop-outs reading from a script. "First, we want you to re-
install Windows...."

I'll probably take a couple of Valium and call them one of these
days, but the problem seems to be at its worst during the days on
weekends. I can race at night with very few problems, and I'm afraid
of some tech guy going into "fix" my lines and making it so I can't
race at night either.
