The remedy was to cut the wire at the last break and solder it into the bar. I was later to find out that…
Time Warner Cable Modem: Motorola SurfBoard SB6141
I read an article in the LA Times some time in November 2012 where it revealed that Time Warner Cable was now charging a rental fee for its Internet modems. The article went on to say that the customer can buy their own modem but it must be an approved model. I went to the Time Warner web site but could not find anything about which modems were approved. I had to contact them by Internet typing chat. The fellow…

You must try it out and take a week or more to experience it. A monthly fee is required. To get started takes a lot of software loading and it is intimidating for most people to get started.

World Of Warcraft Billing Problem
My past reviews of World of Warcraft has rated this game very high. As I find with a lot of very large companies, as they grow larger they get less customer friendly.

I was notified by Blizzard that my card was no longer working and…

iCal Will Not Load
For a very long time I found that my iCal was unusable. Every time I opened it up I would get the spinning color wheel of death. Because Apple shut down mobile me and they threw up a splash screen on my Control Panel that said “MobileMe Sync has been disabled because an iCloud account is active. Use Mail, Contacts, & Calendars to manage Sync”. I have an iPad and wanted my Mac laptop to be synchronized to it. I…
