Re: [CGUYS] Downloading photos from Samsung mobile phone, Windows
I found out about the Online Photo Album, also known as Galleries section of Picture Video Messaging, from reading the manual, although the information in the manual was somewhat misleading. But basically, if you're just dealing with one or more individual photos, you have the option to send each photo to the Online Photo Album (Options - 2. Send - 2. To Online Album.). Then you can access it via your Verizon Wireless account. I have no idea what carriers provide. My GLYDE supports a MicroSD card, however I don't have one installed at the moment. Access to the card is somewhat awkward (you have to remove the back cover of the phone). Did I mention in my original post that I'm a Verizon subscriber? On Sat, Sep 27, 2008 at 12:33 PM, Rev.

My thanks to everyone for your suggestions. I'll keep you posted once we've researched this a bit more, probably later this week.

Re: [CGUYS] Funny article on Vista woes
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Vista Woes... Vista Home Premium seems more stable than Ultimate but does not function well on a business network. So I very much enjoyed this article: http://blogs.zdnet.com/perlow/?p=9199tag=nl.e539 Path Dependence I hope Vista will be improved by the time SP2 rolls around... Parallels looks really cool but when I ask the IT guys on the Mac side of our organization they say it's nice but still has problems. If Mac wants to attract away more Windows users from the current generation of users I think they need to improve that software a little bit because most users/businesses/organizations really need a good set of training wheels to reassure them that the switch won't spell disaster. And why no sub-menu mouse button - would it really be so wrong to add that? Sorry to hear about your Vista problems, but it's understandable since we use Vista [Home Premium and Business] too. I use a no-button mouse with my Mac. I also use Turly O'Connor's FinderPop so I don't need to get a new mouse. Yes, there are contextual submenus in Mac OS X, as well as Mac OS 8/9, but Apple requires that you Control-click to see them if you don't have a two-button mouse. Turly can't do that with a beer in one hand, so he wrote a utility that makes the contextual menus appear when you just click and hold with one hand. He can't afford a two-button mouse because he saves his spare change for more beer. Netscape had click-and-hold submenus--now Firefox and SeaMonkey also have them. To enable them for FF2/3, in Location bar type about:config. Find ui.click_hold_context_menus. Make value true. Does this work in Windows too? FinderPop is beer-ware: Turly prefers that you buy him two Beamish and/or a Guinness.

Re: [CGUYS] just one..
So now, I've tried twice to get Verizon on the phone to place my order and after descending phone tree hell deep into the bowels of the company, I get cut off (at the same point) each time before being transferred to FIoS customer service. Wow. Just wow. This does not bode well. Is Verizon *sure* they want my money? I found that the solution was, after verifying my telephone number, was to yell OPERATOR into the phone. It transferred me to a human toot sweet, who, unlike the computerized system, was actually helpful. I also found out while on the phone, that the DVR replaces one of the set top boxes, so that's why I kept getting the error on the web site about the number of set tops and connections not matching. Of course, the web page says absolutely nothing about this nor offers any guidance. Grr. On the plus side, the bundle price was less over the phone than on the web, even though there were web only discounts. I'm sure there's a catch I don't see yet. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
Re: [CGUYS] IVR cheats (was: just one..)
A google search brought up a list of IVR cheats on this site: http://www.widowpc.com/2005/11/bypass_phone_tr.php (scroll down past the white space) Not sure how accurate it is but have found that trying some combination of these things works on most IVR trees. Usually I just start shouting Operator and Assistance into the phone while alternately punching # and O buttons. Hope they're recording it :) Jeff Wright wrote: So now, I've tried twice to get Verizon on the phone to place my order and after descending phone tree hell deep into the bowels of the company, I get cut off (at the same point) each time before being transferred to FIoS customer service.

Their solution for FiOS is to press 0 at every prompt. Not that that will necessarily help: their grade for the -human- service (i.e., how good is the service -after- you get a human) is F. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

On the plus side, the bundle price was less over the phone than on the web, even though there were web only discounts. I'm sure there's a catch I don't see yet. Keep me informed. I'm pleased that you were able to get through but I'm very concerned that it wasn't easier. I am particularly interested in knowing how smoothly the installation goes and what your opinion of the product is. I know what you think of my customer service and you have every right to vent. If I can't deliver I have no reason to expect that you would become my customer. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

Basically, you just need to try and build a FiOS bundle order. I am particularly interested in knowing how smoothly the installation goes and what your opinion of the product is. I know what you think of my customer service and you have every right to vent. If I can't deliver I have no reason to expect that you would become my customer. Will do. I'm supposed to get it Friday, but it's an *all day* installation window. If I wanted a 4-hour window, I would have to wait 3 weeks. It works out though, I wanted a 3 day weekend anyway. ;-) * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
Re: [CGUYS] just one..
You've got to log in to get to that point. Basically, you just need to try and build a FiOS bundle order. Er, ah, ahem, I live in DC. I would be willing to ditch my RCN cable and my Verizon DSL in a New York minute if I could get better service from my own company. That may happen in my lifetime but I'm not exactly holding my breath here. Yes we (sort of) have regulatory approval in DC. That's a good thing. But I'm in a multi unit dwelling and those are historically less likely to benefit from a rollout. Actually RCN built out my building with great fanfare as one of their target locations sometime in 2000 as a part of their attempt to compete with Comcast (nee DC Cablevision). But RCN is marginally less expensive than Comcast at this point in time, although I am pretty pissed at them right now for being down for Monday Night Football last week and for not being able to find my account on their pay by phone system. I've been satisfied with the DSL I get from Verizon but I wish it was faster. It's certainly priced attractively. As an employee I don't get a discount on the DSL (but I do get what amounts to half price on my local dialtone). So that is the boat I'm in. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
