Wow, are you guys EVER right! NIGHTMARE for me constantly with sets that e=
xhibit "never happened before" problems and I certainly already woke up wit=
h that "queasy" feeling this morning knowing that I have 4 sets today(all p=
rojos) with problems that I really never had before. My first problem(s) i=
s AREA.. WAY too big to handle even a little efficently(example: today- 1s=
t call 5 miles away, 2nd call 123 miles away, 3rd call 56 miles west and on=
& on). Secondly- no help!!!! If possible I would have grabbed that Toshib=
a set IMMEDIATELY and ran to one my shops with it but the lady at the house=
weighed about 80 pounds and I'm lucky anymore to hit 140 and where do you =
find someone to help at 8pm Saturday?. I lost a lot of weight after my wif=
e died but I still have a lot of eneregy and lifted that monster out of the=
stupid cabinet (don't you REALLY just love big, heavy sets in fancy cabine=
ts?)and put it on the floor. REALLY looking forward to going back and that=
is why I really appreciate getting any tips on these tough ones! Obviousl=
y I will search for someone to help me when I go back "in case" I do not ha=
ve an answer for the fix.
Thanks again!!

mbarrasing spaces when I send them to tech assist. I use email.com for onl=
y tech assist and I have played with the settings but it ONLY appears when =
I send notes to tech assist. NEVER happened until they switched to a diffe=
rent format and it honestly embarress me to respond to answer questions. =
