I have been fighting with getting Susan's email setup. It just didn't want to work. C'mon... it's freakin EMAIL!!!

I was trying every variable I could think of: verifying that I had the password correct by logging in via web mail, checking port settings, whether her account name was supposed to include the @ sign and domain name, waving a chicken over my head. I threw the whole gauntlet at it.

Out of curiosity, I set up her Mindspring mail account. It set up easily and as it was supposed to. Okay, so the problem is with DSL Extreme.

So, I go to look up their number again. Go to the web site to get the number again. While there, I see a special message about "If you are having troubles setting up your email..." and think "AHA! they have a known problem!" Recently, they changed their system and required people to have passwords longer than eight characters. I had changed Susan's the other night (her old one was only 7 characters), and thought maybe something came up because of everyone changing their password.

So I click on the link and there was a guide for setting up Entourage (which is what she uses for mail). I check all of the steps to ensure i had things set up properly (I did!).

So next, I decide to copy the actual text of what is supposed to be in each mail box and paste it where applicable.

But when I pasted, I noticed a slight shift in the text. Hmm...

After several rounds of Paste, Undo, Paste, Undo, I made a remarkable and important discovery:


There is an "r" in "dslextreme.com"


Yep, seems the problem was all user error. I don't know how to type properly.

Time for bed methinks.

lol! That was a geat story, Kevy!

I'm about I think 25ish miles north. I'm not 100% sure but I don't think anyone lives downtown. We're kind of scattered around the county.

Maybe she's HERE!!!


And, I have a question, now that I think about it.

Anyone been to the Irvine place where they do concerts? Outdoors, I guess, where ever this projekt revolution is being held Sunday. Verizon Amp?

I would like to know, are there 'real' bathrooms? I know it isn't a big deal but it is something I am curious about. I am imagining the heat, the humidity, I just gotta know. Do not spare me, tell me the truth!!

Thank you. :0)

MW - Verizon Amp is a similiar set up to Coors Cricket Wireless Amp.
