Here is an instance of something that annoys me, about which I would
like to do something...short of calling India, again. I am so sick
of calling India and yelling "AGENT," "OPERATOR," "GETMEA HUMAN," "I
ALREADY GAVE YOU MY PHONE PASSWORD...TROLLOPE'S WOTSIT. TROLLOPE'S
WOTSIT. TWO. EGGSHELLS. 07916..." If I want to order pizza, I
have to tell India. Or so it seems.
Any time I watch Youtube I get about six minutes and then the picture
freezes and I watch the roundy-roundy. Yes, I've tried re-booting.
Yes, I've tried kicking the computer. Yes I've tried calling
earthlink...in India...and Apple. Yes I've downloaded newer, more up-
to-date versions of realtimeplayer. Yes I've tried switching to
Firefox. Corruption all around, bits refusing to squeeze along
telephone lines, a British Rail takeover...what gives? I'd like to
finish watching what seems to be an interesting lecture.
