Well... another one who emerges from the darkness...
This has been a sucky year so far. First I spend about an entire semester without a computer (using the college's computers in the meantime). When finally the as*ho** that was building me a clone PC finished it, it was a total rip-off, useless. He didn't answered my phone calls so I had to order some RAM in ebay to finish my clone. When at last I use it, I found that the Internet connection account I used was non-functional anymore. So I ordered DSL, they told me the installation would require some time, and on July 5 they gave me this email:
"We regret to inform you that the DMAX service is unable to be programmed on your telephone number because there are no ports available at this time. Your order will be delayed until ports become available. PRT is working hard to install additional equipment in your area as soon as possible. We apologize for this inconvenience."
So now, in August, the DSL is finally on and I'm back. Time to catch up with everything here.
