diary of an indie game developer

 

I need tech support for their tech support.

I just registered my Netgear product and clicked on the “contact support” link, because it isn’t working.  Here are the options I was presented with (sorry, not working on a computer with Photoshop this second):

    I’m not contacting support, I’m logging a new a new online technical submission request!  Well, that’s what I clicked, anyway.  I don’t think I requested that anyone submit to me, technically.

    • maybe playing mp3s is a flat 10% of any CPU?
    • It'd be better with screenshots. This laptop can't handle anything beyond Winamp and vim, though. Time to upgrade, I s'pose. (Since when did playing an mp3 take 10% of a 2GHz processor, though? It only took 10% of my 500MHz processor....)
