Communicating with Tech Support ...

About a year ago [April 2012], I contacted CIO.Kingstowne (GFEBS Project) regarding a request from the PMO to run myScan software on my personal laptop PC.  I do not have an Accenture nor a Government-owned laptop as I am a sub-contractor.  I was unable to run myScan on my personal laptop PC and so notified CIO.Kingstowne.  After several attempts by them and later other tech support folks, I was forwarded to the MyScan support team where we repeated all the earlier suggestions before being referred to "the Vendor."  After talks, I presume, with "the Vendor," the myScan support team requested I try a number of scenarios but never could get myScan to run on my personal laptop PC.  Now, I have been referred back to essentially the beginning of the process.  And, since I am the client site, I can not visit the project offices in Kingstowne for the tech support folks there to work with my personal laptop PC.  Thank you.  As far as I am concerned, this can be closed ... until the PMO once again requests I run myScan software on my personal laptop PC.

Hey, foldgers! OLOL does not schedule surgeries on Saturdays or Sundays except for emergencies today. They aren't even government-run. So, you don't have to wait 50 years.

If John Reed had succeeded, we would be wearing our shoes through TSA checkpoints at airports today.

Some others wrote "just file a restraining order."  My comment:  "From THE ADVOCATE:  (1) A Baton Rouge man, 26, was indicted Thursday in the June shooting and wounding of his pregnant wife and killing of her unborn child. ... a temporary restraining order was issued June 18 that required Frank Atkins to stay away from his wife.  (2) A man arrested in the Tuesday morning shooting of his estranged girlfriend ... who turned 18 on Saturday and is three months pregnant, had a temporary restraining order against Patrick Guillory Jr. ...  (3) [EBR] sheriff’s deputies arrested a 46-year-old man Saturday accused of trying to kill his girlfriend ...

Yeah, yeah.  Not really a big deal but I am trying to change settings on AddIt at TheAdvocate.com with little success so far.
