Charlotte, NC

Okay, I didn’t get that violent with my recently-departed PC (not that it was old or anything, but I didn’t wanna hit the kerosene reservoir by mistake!) …

Yep … the ol’ Windows 99 went crazy on me. Actually, it was loaded with XP™ but it developed a bad case of worms thanks to a bad mirror-site download (hmph … I look in the bathroom mirror [now, that's a bad-mirror-sight!] before I do a … ummm, “download” But it never gave me worms!).

So, this time, I went to Circuit City and bought one of those eMachines™ with Vista™ on it (one more time: ™ God, I love those HTML characters!) And, man, this baby does everything but brew coffee (in fact, I’m trying to download a Mr. Coffee™ as-we-speak!). Now the challenge is gettin’ this DSL hooked up to it.

Oh, it’s such fun doin’ it. (You attach one cable to the modem if the modem’s hooked up remove cat from keyboard attach other end not cat’s to computer turn on modem it won’t must be a woman go to other room cuss come back call phone company you know how it goes, right?)

Anyway, it should be up and running before the Presidential Elections, but, until then, there’s always dial-up … just gotta wait for the Goody’s™ to kick in …

Speakin’ of CATS and CABLES …

Throughout the Mid-Atlantic area, people are switching over to DSL and Cable at breakneck speed (actually, mine does work well, now that my ISP walked me through it). But, no matter how proficient your provider, you still need the right cables for the network hookup.
Now, you can go to various electronic stores just to have the salespersons pitch you on their latest-and-best brands, but that takes time, lots of patience and endless price comparisons in the hope that the store actually sold you what you need! It can be frustrating …

unless you order from the folks at Norfolk Wire (formerly Anicom, Inc.). Unlike the retail stores that sell many different and unrelated products, these people are specialists, and will go the “extra mile” to make sure you get the Cat-5 cable you need (Cat-5 [short for "Category 5"] is used in Local Area Network connections, so if you’re on a LAN, most likely the cable running out of the back of your PC is Category 5.).

Norfolk Wire has one main goal, and that’s to provide a return to “good old customer service”. They not only have the best prices available, but also maintain higher stock levels than most. Along with that, they carry a huge selection of products to make your communication experience the best it can be!

So, whether you visit one of their offices in Raleigh, Winston-Salem or Greensboro (they also have them in Virginia and South Carolina), or decide to order on-line via credit card (and their order site is very secure!), you can be sure you’ll get the best, top-quality and affordable Cat 5 cable from this amazing company (oh … while you’re on that site [see link above], be sure to click on their “About” section. It’s really an inspiring story …). Go on and click there now, okay?? You’ll be happy you did!
