[Oh, sheesh. What a lame entry this was. I’m editing this baby.]

PROBLEMO UNO

Finally got high speed internet (cable). Yay!

Going to cancel dialup account with SISNA. Again, Yay!

[And I go to the company’s website expecting I can cancel and I can’t and I try the trick of entering a false credit card so they can’t charge me anymore, and they won’t allow that. And this means I’ll have to call their 40-minutes-on-hold customer service just to cancel. What a pain.]

PROBLEMO DOS

[Okay, I’m not editing this one, because this is actually a good technical work around.]

I started my iTunes music account under one email. I purchased music. Then I decided that email address stinks and abandoned it. Forgetting it was attached to my iTunes music I went and got a new iTunes account attached to my new email address. I go to buy some music and there’s my old iTunes account. Oh, that has my credit card on it, I should migrate that. Um, but it won’t let me update that old account’s email to the new one; that’s already used on my new account. I’ve got two accounts with credit cards on them now but I only use one. Naturally, I look around for a way to cancel the old account. There. Is. No. Option.

This person gives me a tip which gives me an idea. I remove the credit card from the new account, replace the mail address on it with a bogus address, and change the email address [to a bogus name that now embarrasses me]. No more information there that is of any use. A bogus, unused account without any credit card. Then I go to the old account and it lets me update the email to my new one fine - it’s no longer used.

[And I hate these restrictive setups like, really bad.]
