hahahahahah lololol...oh sorry I've gotten control, sorry fo the outbur..hahahahahaha

On a sad note: dont feel bad man, when I got my iMac I almost sent the thing back in for a bad modem, seems whenver I plugged the phoneline in the phones in the house went dead (usually means a bad switch on the modem) it all my years of PC suppor ti never realized if you plug a phone cable into a NIC jack it will click in, AND take your lines off the hook for ya.

I wouldn't have minded, but mine are colour coded

Changes by AMI and Award (no statement from Phonex)
will fix this problem so that FAq will shortly be out of date.

The colour coding is confusing to many people; something
acer aka BenQ and IBM found out to their cost as many users
hot swapped their input devices and shorted their mainboards
under warranty.

Rumors of a simplified MAC like mouse being made, however,
are false

Hey (or Hay), I feel for you. We all pull the bonehead now and then, but hats off to you for putting it out here for all to get a good laugh from!

Thanks, but I wish it was the first time I'd done it

And it may still not be the last, but I bet it doesn't happen again for a long time after this. That's live and learn.

If it makes you feel any better, I did something similar a couple weeks ago. Our refrigerator came out of storage, and after plugging it in, it was not getting cold. The light came on, but no cold. Turned the setting to hi, no dice. Got my meter and checked the AC outlet (waste of time, I said the light came on). Called the serviceman, he came over, opened the FREEZER compartment, and said "Helps if you turn it on!". Ok, a little red in the face, but I had tried on the cooler side, I didn't know the master on/off was on the freezer side, I never opened that side. He didn't charge us for the service call, but offered a "tune-up" for $40.00 (US). I gladly paid him, he earned it.

I will bet you that never happens again.
