The past week or so has been hell. I applied to change service provider , but wasn’t told that there would be up to 21 days when I would be without an internet connection. What!? How can anyone, trying to build an online business, survive for that long?
After 2 days of complaints and pleading, I was offered a temporary dial-up connection to keep me going in the mean time. Great! That’s a start. At least I’d be able to update my blog and keep abreast of my emails. The lady at the help desk started issuing instructions to guide me in setting up the dial-up modem.
Some hours later, after trying everything, including telling me to delete my previous System Preferences, she said that she’d exhausted all her knowledge and suggested I call a Mac technician. Then I was left with a "busy" tone on the phone. The operator was gone. I was left stranded with no connection, and no email account.
To add insult to injury, my last TWO years of emails (28,000 plus) have gone, floating somewhere in cyberspace, or perhaps they no longer exist at all, anywhere. That’s bad.
