So jealous!
Cheers:...You get another long weekend? So jealous!<br /><br />Cheers:<br /><br />Nicole at the Canadian Cancer Society for finding the perfect volunteer opportunity for my niece, who needs 10 hours volunteer service to graduate. Both niece and sister are very happy.<br /><br />Visions on Rochdale. Although I didn't wind up buying my new phone there, they were very personable and knowledgeable. Although, when I saw their EeePC, I knew more about it than they did. But then, I've had mine since 2008. Might have to go back and get the new one, though. Not often you can find a notebook computer for under $300.<br /><br />Wireless Age on Broad Street. They knew their stuff, too. Not quite as personable as the Visions crew, but even more knowledgeable. That's where I got my phone.<br /><br />Jeers:<br /><br />Wireless Age on Rochdale. This isn't the first time I've gone in there, but I somehow thought I'd get a bit more service if I were looking for a smartphone. This young woman seemed put upon to have to help me. I mentioned a couple phones I'd seen, and said that I'd seen one that was cool, but not what I wanted. She took me straight to that phone. Um. I mentioned I didn't want it because it didn't have a QWERTY keyboard. "Oh, but it does - on the touch screen." Um, yeah. I asked about another phone I was interested in: "What's the operating system on this one?" She stared blankly at me. This bored-looking guy at a counter told me, and we discussed that OS for a minute, but he never got up or offered to show me anything else. Finally, I said, "I'm still looking around", and left. Nope. Won't buy anything there again. Even if it is close to home.<br /><br />Another jeer: having to learn how to use one of these crackberry things. I've had the thing less than a week, and it's crashed a few times already. I don't think it likes me.<br /><br />Funny, but that phone is the only thing I have to complain about. Although it is cool being able to tweet on it...Bevnoreply@blogger.com
