Well, after an exact 23 hours of no Time Warner Service, I now have television and Roadrunner. I whiled my time and mismanaged my anger with phone calls at 3 pm and 9 pm yesterday and 8 am today, all to various Time Warner personnel for whom English is a second or third language. Of course, nothing can be explained although one employee mentioned the UN today (Dubya is showing up) and traffic messes. Since this is the second time in three weeks for Time Warner connection problems, I suspect more than incompetence.
Thank you, DR Ben, for relaying my info.
Stephen Oliver, composer of BLONDEL and victim of AIDS, also wrote a well-received opera based on TOM JONES.
