Technophobia

If it's possible to suffer from this made-up disease, I am on my deathbed! I have just subscribed to my first personal home internet service after receiving my first 'real' computer from my cousin (they purchased a new one and needed to get rid of the old). However, I am having technical difficulties and am currently on a 'live chat' with a representative from the ISP I chose. Well, let me tell you...there is nothing live about this one! Anyway, this person has been less than helpful and I am already thinking about canceling my service...before it is billed to my credit card! This is more of a headache than I thought it would be. No wonder it's taken me all these years to merge onto the information superhighway! Well, we shall see what develops I guess.
