For the past week Change Links has had major computer problems
Sorry this is rather long.

Over a month ago our Dell Laptop bit the dust, (about 9 years old) 
wouldn't boot.   I tried everything the things I know without 
luck.   I finally gave it to Clay Claiborne, took him a few weeks but 
he fixed it.

But then our main computer went down.  It too was a Dell, a fairly 
expensive computer, a little over 3 years old.  I did pay for an 
extra warranty which still covered it.

Called Dell tech support.  First went through 3 different ones.   All 
they did was run it through their scripts, which I knew wouldn't help.
Found out they had installed Raid 0 on it, which makes in run 
faster.  This is usually meant for large systems, not home 
computers.Turns out that if a Windows file gets corrupted, it effects 
all drives and there is basically nothing you can to.  except install 
Raid 1, problem is that erases all files on your computer.

And Dell of course doesn't try and  fix Raid problems.  All they 
said, after some real bad and wrong advise.is to take it to a Raid 
shop and pay over $300.

I told Dell since it was their fault they should reimburse me.  One 
manager told me they would reimburse if I sent an invoice.  but now 
they can find that advise anywhere.  I call again and again and 
reached another manager and again he promised I would be reimbursed, 
took my phone number but haven't heard anything yet.

Turns out the only Phone Numbers I can find to either to sales or 
Tech support which mostly in India I think.  Phones lines can be so 
bad you cant understand anyone.

Once again I gave to Clay and hope he can fix it.

Yahoo groups
Im on about 12 Yahoo groups and Moderate 2.  I cannot access this, 
Yahoo saying its the wrong password  It should be okay, but trying to 
get it fixed has been impossible.

Funding is still  way way to slow.  Many who have subscribed for 
years are not uping their subscription.   Though we distribute 12,000 
copies around the greater LA area, not many new subscriptions or donations

One would think progessives would want to keep one of only 
progressive newspaper alive but so far that dosent seem to be happening.
