I battled with at&t this morning. I had been near the Mexican border, got a message about data costing more. Phone quit working. Tried to get in touch with att with email and text since I couldn’t call, finally my daughter called them and they said for me to call them. Phone wouldn’t call and that’s why I was texting. Long story short if you see other providers towers like tex mex or movistar (I’m not kidding) near the Mexican border turn your phone OFF. I won but they said it was the only time. $199 for a few emails and texts that resulted in bad advice from them. Sheesh. Glad I won.
And if you haven’t been keeping up with the Perils of Pauline UPS lost a package that had an invoice in it and some other paperwork worth $1500. Not a good thing, then the company I sent it to decided they had found it, JUST KIDDING, they didn’t find it, now I have to TRY and explain this to UPS. We have duplicates now but being minus $1500 for a month hurts rather badly right now.

Oh, now get this, I can’t talk to UPS all representatives are busy and my cell keeps cutting out.  So I’m emailing.  They ask for a reference number I don’t have so I go to one of their emails to see if I could find it.  THE EMAILS ARE NOT FROM UPS.  There’s a virus or trojan in them, never found it before because I never opened their attachements, avast caught it right away but sheeesssh……So if you get an email from UPS that says you mailed a package, and it wasn’t delivered?  Maybe you should just delete it.

I normally don’t push windows updates, I love the ones that look for bogus windows os and applications but say they don’t. What a bunch of proprietary gobbledygook!
But being as this was on CNN and it sends information back to the host computer and infects every computer in a network I think maybe we should take heed and make sure we have patch MS08-067. I’m going right now to look and see if I have it.

From what I could tell this is where you go for the security update for xp..
