Ok, so my generous mom bought me this laptop, but didn't realize it was Windows starter. No OE email available. Fine with me because I don't use email much at all. Until I needed it today.

If you clear your browsing history, it clears out your passwords. Ok fine, so I go back to login on twitter and it tells me to put in a confirmation code they sent to my E MAIL address.......MO FO!

So I download a free email program for starter, but with the cable company tech support we got stuck on one box in the program which wouldn't size properly to drag. So after 3 calls and 3 tecs the last guy finally says I can access my email through the company website with my password.

MO FO! So I wasted time downloading a program, only to be told I could access my email through their website.

Ah boy! Sorry to hear that. It drives me nuts when computers mess me around.

It is a double edge sword. I actually don't mind some problems because you learn how to fix them. It just upset me that I wasted my time and the tecs time when I had the power the entire time to get my e mail without my own software.

It's alot like most people not being able to change the oil in their car. It still is a learning experience.

That's true. I don't mind either if I find out I could do better with more knowledge. It's when it just arses around for no good reason I get mad.

I haven't used a dedicated e-mail client for quite a while... hooray for gmail!

It wasn't serious mad, but more like Homer Simpson DOH!

Meh, "Lonestar, I am your father's cousin's brother's former roommate".

Yuhup.

Actually besides not having OE, Starter has been the most stable OS I have used.
