STOP BUYING INTO THESE RIDICULOUS PROGRAMS.
Okay, I am coming from the angle of a technology geek, but most of the pieces of technology today are pretty user-friendly and intuitive in terms of design. If a piece of technology that you want to buy is so complicated you've got to pay $40 or $50 to understand it, chances are you shouldn't be getting it.
Ever heard of the phrase, do you give the man a fish or do you teach him how to fish? Are you really going to go through the rest of your life paying BS fees for basic things that it'll take that tech about 5 minutes to do? Get your reels, bait, and boats and get your asses in the water. Google things that confuse you and teach yourself how to do these things yourself.
Okay, granted what I am saying may be harshly stated, but seriously just Google any problems that you are having. GPS setup at Staples is $40, and that's just for programming some simple addresses. This is about a five minute process for the person who has been doing this all day and to some one who was an absolute beginner this process may take all of 20 minutes. Are you really going to pay $40 for 15 minutes of saved time? Also, if something goes wrong is it not better to know how to fix the problem yourself rather than just giving it back and paying even more to have the same 5 minutes of work done?
I know that you may be scared of technology, but through Google all things are possible. Also, the MANUALS in the box shed an amazing amount of light into getting the most out of your products. Seriously they seem a little unnecessary for smaller electronics, but sometimes there are features you were unaware of or operating instructions to have the life of the piece of technology. Yes, I'm shutting up now. Just know you've got the power, so use it. Don't be a suckers to the whiz kids. Keep us nerds in our place.
'Til Later,
