    Hp Touchpad Firesale

    Called HP SMB this morning to see if the order was shipping, as I was told it would last week. They told me no, and I wouldn't be getting one. I asked about the charge on my credit card and he told me to talk to billing but the wait is 3 hours. Lovely. They have no clue what is going on. Glad I...

    Hp Touchpad Firesale

    Why wouldn't they ship on Sunday? Didn't say it would be delivered on the 28th, just that it was shipping.

    Hp Touchpad Firesale

    SvrWxCy- Same deal as you with ordering Monday and then the emails. Called HP today and they confirmed mine will ship on the 28th. I'd be willing to bet if you called they would tell you the same thing.

    Hp Touchpad Firesale

    I got a cancellation email yesterday from HP Small Business for an order I placed Monday. Now, I received an order confirmation email from them this morning saying that same order will ship on the 28th. Anyone else get this? I'm confused.

    TV repair help

    I had the same issue with my Samsung TV. Googled the problem and was very surprised to see that the issue is very, very common with their TVs. They have acknowledged they put cheap capacitors in. I called Samsung to discuss the problem and after speaking to a few higher-ups I was able to get my...

    Insurance company that doesn't outsource

    One more thing I would like to add. Liberty Mutual is a privately held company and has never accepted a penny of government money. They are solid and have recently purchased SafeCo out of Seattle- an extremly large company- and they paid cash.

    Insurance company that doesn't outsource

    My husband worked for Liberty Mutual's company in Des Moines before we were moved to Colorado to work for their company out here (Colorado Casualty). The name of the Iowa office is Hawkeye Security. They are in West Des Moines by Jordan Creek. Outstanding company.

    New highrise?

    I worked in the Ames hotel industry in various positions for 10+ years...the last five in sales. The plan that has been around forever was to add a hotel onto the top of the Scheman Building. I believe the building was built to accomodate that addition at some point. However, I doubt it will...

    Old O'Malley's/New Italian?

    Next time I talk to him I will ask what they are doing to the inside of the building and see if I can get any inside scoop. It is such a neat building, but I'm sure they are having to sink some bucks into it after the last flood.

    Old O'Malley's/New Italian?

    I have a friend who is working on the building and it sounds like it is going to be an Italian restaurant. I think it is strange myself that its not going to be a Mexican place??? I had to ask twice to make sure I heard right.
