Wisdom For The New Millennium

WARNING: this will be updated as I think of more items...

1. When using a vending machine and purchasing a product that is more than $1, always put the dollar in the feeder first. This will save you from potentially losing your .25 or .50 if the feeder is broken.
2. Always check to make sure the air conditioning in the used car you are purchasing actually works. Let's just say I know a guy who knows a guy that bought a car that didn't even have air conditioning, by accident. Ok, I admit it was me that bought the car.
3. Consumer frustration: why do computer stores carry wireless access points and network cards from a zillion vendors, and often three or four different models from the same vendor with the exact same specifications? Answer: the industry changes all the time. Models are updated to add new standards and sometimes, yes, just change the logo. Just purchase your wireless stuff from a known brand--not the generic junk from a company that won't be around in 6 months when you need to download a new driver.
