Does it work as well in the same computer, but multiple OS boot? I have vista and linux, and keep all pictures in a separate partition.

Comment on Netbooks Resurfaces from Hibernation as WorkingPoint: SaaS for SMB with Nicer UI but Much Less Functionality by David Silva

Many of our clients have used netbooks for a variety of tasks around their warehouses. They're brilliant for small businesses. Some use them in their warehouses to easily bring along a computer to help with inventory and others have sales reps that use them in the field to have continuous access to our software and enter in sales orders. They are really great low-cost solutions to ensure you are always connected to your software system on-the-go.

Comment on UPS: Tracking and Customer Service Failure by jkb

And the saga continues for those of us stupid enough to even believe UPS might clean up their act. I have made 5 attempts to get packages picked up from my apartment to return to Overstock.com and I keep getting notes and voicemail messages from the drivers that either my buzzer doesn't work or I haven't been home. Both are complete LIES. My scheduled pickup times have been from 6pm to 9pm and the driver in my area is usually on his route closer to 4-5pm which must be when he is leaving me notes and voicemails. The VM was time stamped at 5:25pm. So, I know he is just trying to wrap up his shift and avoid getting my packages when I've requested. When I called UPS about the pickups, they said they could not find the information. I made two pickup requests online and two over the phone just to see if there would be any change in behavior. I was told on my fifth call this evening that the local call center would call me within an hour of my call. Well, as you might guess – NADA. When I called the 800 number I had to get supervisor on the phone who in turn told me the all the drivers for the center had gone home – and it was 8:45 pm. I subsequently found out that the call center is in Central America so there isn't much they can do to help with local issues if the local center isn't responding. Is this company for real?!

Comment on Does UPS Have Deep Systematic Problems? by Joe Walker

Joe Walker — Tue, 07 Jun 2011 18:33:45 +0000

Thats wonderful, and I am sure your husband is one of the very few good ones, but I am sitting here today after taking 2 hours off work to wait for a package delivery as i missed the 1st one and it needs a signature. I am not more that 13 steps from my front door. I check the door every 20 to 30 minutes. In between one of the checks another missed notice is left on my door. the driver never knocked or rang the bell. If I had known the company was shipping via ups I would have ordered my product from another store!

Comment on Customer Support, the HP Way by Tanya

I agree HP doesnt help you at all to fix the smallest of issues. I spoke to Asif at 1-800-474-6836 today and they were "unable" to assist, but had the audacity to suggest that we by a new PC. I had contacted Microsoft before going to HP and Microsoft bent over backwards trying to help and when they said it was an issue that HP should be able to clear up, because it was a OEM subscription/licensing issue. Windows even told me what to tell HP when I contacted them, but HP was no help.
This worries me and I don't think I can buy another HP PC after this.
