They should at least email people back geez. It took a bit of looking to find the page where I could get a text sent to a cell. It was scary if my friend didn't allow me to use his cell # I bet I would still me SOL.

It a pain because no one to call and they never email me back at my alt email address. I did find a page where I could get a code text to a cell phone that got me back in after changing my password. When I got back in all the way down where it says details (gmail) it showed my account was hacked from overseas 2 times early in the day. The rest were US ip's. There has to be a better way then just locking an account. They should also have a help page to call someone or make it less harder to get back in. I use a friend cell to get back in.

Out of all the browsers for Windows seems Firefox is the slowest when it comes to starting it. Once it is open I don't have a issue. I really hope they fix that one day.

CompUSA still has two stores in Clearwater and Tampa FL. So they may sell the same stuff as TigerDirect store. You can go buy from a brick store. Just buying Circuit City name is dumb.

I love it we know what the problem is we have 3 ways to fix it. However fixing the problem cost too much let try a another way blame the users. It works with Windows blames uses then down the road we will fix it and hope no one finds out. How the Wii won the console wars.

releasing Windows XP Professional SP2c, due to the shrinking pool
of activation keys. From the article:

Microsoft has had to create a new build of Windows XP Professional for computer makers because the six-year-old operating system's continued popularity has nearly exhausted the supply of product activation keys. The new build, dubbed SP2c, includes no fixes or feature changes, but was created simply to address the shrinking pool of product keys. XP Pro SP2c, which has been released to manufacturing, will be made available to OEMs and system builders next month, said Microsoft.
