- Great, My girlfriend's parents bought her a Compaq Presario and after
- the first Day trying to uninstall the piece of shit Phone Operator
- thing, just so I could send her a file using Hyperterminal, I have
- decided that the Presario line sucks. I still don't know if just
- remming out the addition to the config.sys and autoexec.bat is enough.
-
- I haven't even tried dial-up-networking yet, but I was going to this
- week so she could borrow my internet account. If it's gonna be that
- big of a problem though, maybe I should just have her return the
- computer.
