njdevils_info Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Well first off, it was WebTV like, not actually WebTV. That was mistake 1. Mistake 2 was buying WebTV after we returned it. Keep in mind, this was 1997. I was 13 and didn't have much say in the matter. My parents knew I wanted a computer to go on the internet, and they thought this was perfect because it was the internet without an expensive computer! We had it for maybe a year and a half before we got an actual computer - which ran slower than WebTV I think... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
langsgirl Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 You had WebTV? Why? See, it was your mistake for having it in the first place! my first internet connection was hopping on my uncles webtv ...i hated that thing.. i thought it was cool until i got a computer!

njdevils_info Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 I don't think WebTV was ever cool - but I frequented the newsgroups they had, especially the Devils one, on a regular basis! Too bad it was only accessable on WebTV - and I don't think they even exist anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammyk Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 but I frequented the newsgroups they had, especially the Devils one, on a regular basis! So I guess you and the other Devils fan/WebTV user, langsgirl, chatted in that newsgroup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njdevils_info Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Well given that it was bout 8 years ago, I don't remember if I ever chatted with her specifically - although my handle was newjerseydevils@webtv.net Yeah, apparently I was the first devils fan there, and got a really original address!

njdevils_info Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 I didn't do much on WebTV also - chatted, worked on my web site... Come to think of it, that's all I do now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
langsgirl Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 webtv was the slowest connection ever.. it was like slower then dialup on a computer..and it was the annoying highway with the city in the back.. i guess "information highway" but you knew you were getting close when the highway started to freeze instead of move..sometimes i just fooled ya though..and froze and then never connected you... grrrrr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njdevils_info Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 (edited) I don't think I ever had the highway freeze, but there were certainly times when that music would get a minute or two in and you knew connecting was going to be impossible today! And don't forget the catchy music: WebTV Connecting EDIT: Fixed the link Good ol' MIDI goodness!

langsgirl Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 ya that music was so awful... and when it started getting to a certain tune ya knew you had to power off!! ya the highway would stop momentarily right as it was connecting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammyk Posted May 3, 2006 Author Share Posted May 3, 2006 Woohoo, the city is gonna credit my account! I just have to pay the average of what my previous months were before the leak. Now, where did I put that repair receipt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
langsgirl Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Sweet... glad it worked out since originally you said that it would be your fault or something not theirs... so its good that gotten taken care of! Do they have to do massive ground breaking to fix it.. or just small stuff had to be done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammyk Posted May 3, 2006 Author Share Posted May 3, 2006 Oh, I thought I reported the repair...They had to dig on each side of the sidewalk to find the leak. Turns out it was right smack in the middle of the sidewalk. So they cut the line on each side and replaced it w/o having to break the sidewalk. The repair cost was actually a reasonable for what they did. The leak was at a coupling from PVC to copper and it seems to have been there forever but was just a trickle. Over time it had 'burrowed' through the pipe and then my troubles started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
langsgirl Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 ya now that you say it.. im pretty sure ive heard it before... OOPS sorry ya had to retype it.

I so totally get it now -- jk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammyk Posted May 4, 2006 Author Share Posted May 4, 2006 No bill yet. This one seems to be with part of what was fixed before so hopefully I can get them to come out and fix it again at no charge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilish34 Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 No bill yet. This one seems to be with part of what was fixed before so hopefully I can get them to come out and fix it again at no charge. Did you pay them already?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammyk Posted May 4, 2006 Author Share Posted May 4, 2006 Did you pay them already?? Yah, the work was done nearly 2 months ago and things were fine. Meter slowed down and everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowdyFan42 Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 So how do you know you have another leak? Is the meter speeding up again, or are there visible signs of the excess water this time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masked Fan Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 ... Meter slowed down and everything. i erased my comments because the problem was solved, yeah? I was just offering ideas for pinpointing the problem, ie listen to the storm drain, look at your meter, fill a sink & check meter again. So, it weren't needed no more.
