Sorry $23.90

Stats from my Store..... They offered 19 of the $199 Basics (I got voucher #19), They had 28 of the $399 "Anti-Virus" Ones. I know because the guy next to me was handed the voucher for one of the $399 models marked 1 of 28.

At the CC I was at, When everyone signed up for AOL they were put on the $23.90 Plan automatically, even if you said tyou wanted the $14.95 Plan. We were told by the CC employees that if they tried to put us on the $14.95 plan it would crash the system, CC employees told us we would have to call AOL and have our service downgraded to the $14.95 Plan. Everyone in line was suspicious, that maybe they figured out they were losing money on the $14.95 Plan and were forcing the $23.90 on us. Anyone called AOL yet to downgrade their service to $14.95?? Seems like they couldn't get out of doing it, it's started in the Flyer that teh $14.95 plan was acceptable.

I wanted to get some sleep while waiting for the CC Toshiba Laptop. I didn't get any..... Got the laptop though.

Mine had 19 of the $199 Toshiba's (I got voucher #19) They had 28 of the $399 Toshiba's with the "Extra Antivirus software". Seems like CC figured out "If we jab them and extra $100 they'll pay because they will have been waiting in loine for hours and won't walk away empty handed."

Just Got back from CC. I got there at 10PM was 19th in line. Pretty cool crowd, No trouble really. Had a few people try to cut the front of the line but, it turns out there were CC employees in street clothes starting around 1AM, they walked the line talked to people. Turns out they were scoping the line to see who was there and when 3:30 rolled around all of a sudden they were in CC Shirts and started giving people the bums rush to the back of the line. There were also a few weirdos caseing the line like they were checking everyone out. The people that got there after 1AM were bummed because by then there were 125 people in line. There was 350 or something by the time the store opened. The people that showed at 4AM or later were visually stunned. THE CC Employees did a really good job on making sure new arrivals got to the back of the line and handing out vouchers. When they handed out the vouchers for the Toshiba laptop for $199, (Not the $299 w/ Antivirus. there were 28 of those.) The CC Guy handed me Voucher 19 of 19!!! PHEW!!! The Nightmare begins after the store opened. Store opened at 5AM I was in Laptop Line at 5:04 7th in line. The whole AOL Process was a Nightmare, First the system Crashed. so we had to wait. Then the system was up and I got setup with AOL, but something got screwed up. After they sent me to the "Done with AOL, Waiting for the Laptop Line." They handed out Blank pieces of paper and we had to fill out our AOL Account Info and give CCard info again so they could "Call it in" and get some . But they did thet with everyone in line and all of a sudden there were peopel from the back of the line getting called up first. People were pissed. Before a riot broke out they put the line back in order and started calling people in turn. I had to wait MORE because they didn't know what CCard I gave them, DUH! first four numbers. Mean While the weirdos scoping the outside hung around the Cashier where you turned in your vouchers like vultures. One lady was walking the line saying "If anyone wants to give up the Voucher for the $199 Laptop I'll take it." On her third pass everyone finally told her to STFU!. I Finally got my laptop in hand and was out of the store at 8:16am EST... Three Hours and Nine minutes to pay for a laptop that I had a voucher for. As I was leaving some lady walked up to the Cashier and pointed at all the laptops behind and said "Is that the $199 Laptop? Could you give me two of those?" the people in line just started laughing and told here she was wayy too late. I feel bad for the CC employees they did a pretty good job and were taking a beat down from all the angry people having to wait because of the SAOL Screwups. When everyone signed up for AOL they were put on the $23.90 Plan. We were told that if they tried to put us on the $14.95 plan it would crash the system, they told we would have to call AOL and have our service downgraded to the $14.95 Plan. Everyone in line was suspicious, that maybe they figured out they were losing money on the $14.95 Plan. Anyone else run into the same problem?? Hope it won't be a hassle, I saved my sale flyer where it states the $14.95 plan was included.

I got three different answers from the three different people I asked at the 24 Hour Walmart here. Greeter said they would line everyone up outside and let them loose at 5AM in a free for all. Customer service said I was welcome to come in and mill around the store until 5am. Electronics department chick told me they would begin lining people up as they came in would have a line for each Item. If they only had 20 of something then they would only have 20 people in that line. I was going to go for the Laptop but, I am going to CC instead. Decided it's the best BF Laptop Deal and considering that the Local Walmart Customers here are rough trade even on a good day. I don't wanna risk a free for all.

Fined?? Do the Retail Police show up in the middle of the night at your house break down the door and drag you out of bed to collect it??

hahahahahaahahaa!! He should change his name to "Andy Assklown" They contrdicted themselves at least twice. Look at it this way, at least the lines will be shorter in that town. GOOD JOB ANDY!!!

Just off the bat directadmin is eaiser to use I think, but cpanel has more features?? I have been too deep into direct admin yet.

PREVIOUS POST WAS FROM ME! SORRY, I THOUGHT I WAS LOGGED IN.

Thanks ordering now! Thanks you both for the help and the deals!! BTW: You might be able to pickup a few more customers over at ripplehost.com there are alot of unhappy people. I'll at least link to telnap..

Thanks just moved 1 domain to hostpc, it was the most inportant of the two. For the other that I'd like SSH for, I'd give Cernax a try. But SSH is on dedicated servers only so.... Thanks for the Telnap deal offer. My paypal account is bone dry right now. Can I use the 2checkout option??

Ripplehost has been down for 36 hours , I have had enough. I should have jumped on the telnap special about a month ago but, I thought Alan had finally gotten his act together. Looking for a reliable host with 200MB storge and 5Gb of bandwidth or better. Also would lkike Shell and SSH access. Anyone got some recommendations???
