The only cure is to replace the microcomputer board. Whirlpool just started making more of these boards in July 2002 [...]
So your fancy Whirlpool or KitchenAid Side-by-Side with the in-door icemaker quit making ice for your margaritas? And it’s one of those space-age looking icemakers with the red LED and infrared ice level sensor? Well, Grasshopper, go pour yourself a tall cold one, and get me one while you’re at it, because the [...]

Looks like Microslop provided more fertile ground for yet another internet worm attack. Maybe this is what’s behind the .NET passport outage.
Looks like MSN .NET passport servers are having another bad hair day. I can’t sign in to .NET passport to check email or answer questions at the Appliantology Group. Anyone else having this problem? Seems like the .NET passport servers go down about once a week. I’m just glad Microslop didn’t [...]

Easter. There is nothing good in there now.

Dear God,
Thank you for the baby brother but what I asked for

Dear Mr. God,
I wish you would not make it so easy for people to
come apart. I had to [...]
The IM world used to drive me nuts. Some of my friends are on Yahoo Messenger, some on MSN Messenger, others on AOL Instant Messenger. I got so fed up with all the fragmentation in the IM world that I just punted IMing altogether. But I just discovered a very cool service [...]
I’m back from my brief foray into the Dark Side of the Web: MSN 8. I jumped over to the Dark Side a couple of months ago after I downloaded Intellisync from Yahoo and it crashed my computer. In a fit of rage, I deleted the Appliantology group at Yahoo Groups and [...]
I hate junk faxes. People that send ‘em are nothing more than sleazy little thieves. They’re even a notch below email spammers because they steal my paper and toner to get their stupid message to me. And what kind of half-wit responds to scam offers in unsolicited faxes? There must be [...]
