Last week I got a new computer (IBM ThinkPad T60p), which means I retired my old ThinkPad T41. Today is the first time that I've tried to logon to my Chase online account to pay my credit card bill, which is due today.

One of our clients recently moved to a new office. They tried to transfer their LDMI telephone and DSL service to the new building, but LDMI missed several deadlines so our client switched to AT&T. Today, our client called seeking advice on troubleshooting some network problems after the AT&T DSL installer left.
