- I have encountered this EXACT same problem and for weeks now thought I
- was going crazy. Since I had both my older v.34 Sportster (with
- Spiral Death I might Add, however the older v.34 doesn't have the
- powerup prob) and my new 33.6 Sportster and kept running into the same
- Power Up problems. Then I took back the new 33.6 and replaced it with
- another 33.6 and had the same PowerUp problems. A little thing I like
- to do since I've been dealing with USR since they first released the
- old 9600 modems is to just go to Best Buy or wherever and constantly
- do the old Switcharoo. That is how I solved my problem with Spiral
- Death and it is how I will solve the powerup problem (that's if this
- Dip switch #1 method doesn't work.) I say Fuck the big companies. If
- one big company Fucks you over, Fuck over the company that you can
- Fuck over without getting caught.
-
- I say Fuck, Fuck, and Double Fuck the big companies that don't give a
- shit about their customers!!! And also, Fuck the Clinton Internet
- Censorship bill... Sorry for this Fucked up mood that USRobotics has
- put me in... And one more FUCK em because I say so!!
