Personal Navigation Systems (PNS)

I would recommend Garmin over Tom Tom any day because I received such bad customer service from Tom Tom. ... You be the judge. I ordered an in home charger for my Tom Tom One. --- approximate cost $30.00, Charger came from Tom Tom via UPS and I opened the UPS box and inside was a box from Tom Tom that had promo material on the Tom Tom Box, which stated "Charger for Tom Tom One." -- So I thought "NO PROBLEM." About that time, I had to leave town for a couple of weeks and when I returned, I tried to charge my Tom Tom. The charger will not work with my Tom Tom PNS because it is the wrong charger!! I called Tom Tom Customer Service and they replied, "That is too bad." You should have called within two weeks after receiving the charger, and our policy clearly states that if we ship the wrong item, you have two weeks to contact us and request a refund or exchange.

I consider that HORRIBLE customer service!!! What do you think??

Brock 006

The only place the two week return policy is in writing, is in the customer service department written customer complaint guide. CRUMMY Company or what???

URGENT VIRUS ALERT

This was just posted moments ago in Computers,Technology,and Internet Solutions!
WELL WORTH SHARING!!!!

TWO SUBJECT LINES TO BEWARE OF:

BETTER ...

TWO SUBJECT LINES TO BEWARE OF:

BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY.
READ AND HEED.

I just verified this with Snopes and it is REAL. ALSO WENT TO TRUTH OR FICTION AND IT'S on their site also.

& nbsp;
PLEASE INFORM EVERYONE

Emails with pictures of Osama Bin-Laden hanged are being sent and the moment that you open these emails your computer will crash and you will not be able t o fix it!

If you get an email along the lines of 'Osama Bin Laden Captured' or 'Osama Hanged', don't open the attachment.

This e-mail is being distributed through countries around the globe, but mainly in the US and Israel

Be considerate & send this warning to whomever you know.

PLEASE FORWARD THIS WARNING AMONG FRIENDS, FAMILY AND CONTACTS:

You should be alert during the next days:
Do not open any message with an attached file called 'Invitation' regardless of who sent it.

It is a virus that opens an Olympic Torch which 'burns' the whole hard disc C of your computer.

This virus will be received from someone who has your e-mail address in his/her contact list, that is why you s hould send this e-mail to all your contacts.

It is better to receive this message 25 times than to receive the virus and open it

If you receive a mail called 'invitation', though sent by a friend, d o not open it and shut down your computer immediately.

This is the worst virus announced by CNN, it has been classified by Microsoft as the most destructive virus ever.

This virus was discovered by McAfee yesterday, and there is no repair yet for this kind of virus.

This virus simply destroys the Zero Sector of the Hard Disc, where the vital information is kept.

SEND THIS E-MAIL TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW

READ THIS,PLEASE!!


ANYONE EXPERIENCING ANTIVIRUS ADWARE SCAM READ THI
This is a Microsoft Download....it's free and it's basically an 'enhanced' task manager!.....
Here's the link:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/ sysinternals/bb896653.aspx

Should you receive a warning..."your computer is acting erratically"etc.
run this program and you will see for sure if it is or NOT!!....

Because this adware pops up occassionally(it IS a Trojan....it is Moderate Risk,and must be scanned and removed whenever it 'pops in'....So far...SPYBOT SEARCH AND DESTROY is the only software that Identifies and quarantines this crap...
It's a free Download from Filehippo.com....and I have been using it since the beginning!
A Full Update is required regularly and must be done manually and THEN....
Click the 'IMMUNIZE' Button to build a wall against these attacks...........peace!

Update!!

I am serious and if you are not technically connected, please do not joke at my expense. I can not find any java program on my computer. I have looked several times and still can not play the jigsaw pussles neither here or there.

So please if you can help me to fix, please do. I thought that my IE had the ability to use java.

Thanks

RE POSTED FOR SHOESHOE

I have an H/P desk top. I am now using my laptop because It seems that my Yahoo server is down. All the lights are on, on my motem but I jut can't open my mail or do anything else.I had a bad time trying to shut it down. It just kept rebooting itself. I finally, after many tries, was aable to shut it down manually.
What's my next step?
