Technology REALLY Stinks!

 

Earlier, I wrote about changing email delivery systems for my blogs and how confusing it

 

gets to be a non-Geek operating in a Geek world.

 

 

Well, it’s gotten worse. I can’t say I’d rather be starving in Ireland like my ancestors did

 

in Shanty Gold, but I sure think life was simpler B.C. (before computers).

 

 

All I wanted was to talk to Verizon about loading a book from my computer onto my Nook. I googled Verizon and got what I thought was a Verizon site. WRONG!!!

 

The guy told me I had a nasty Trojan on my computer. I’m not talking Greek wars or

safe sex here. This Trojan was worse than a virus—would literally eat my data if I didn’t

get it off. BUT HE HAD A GUY WHO COULD GET RID OF IT FOR ME!!!

 

For $269.00.

 

He transferred me to said “guy” who I’m sure was sitting somewhere in downtown Bombay. After more run arounds than happened in the NFL last year, I THINK it’s cleaned up. Chancer, my favorite computer geek, came

over and cleaned up my system.

 

“Do not pay them anything, Jeanne!” she ordered. So, I didn’t, but I’m terrified they’ll be back.

 

Please wish me the luck of the Irish on this one.
