BEWARE of amtrak and enterprise

Very well known transportation services, the amtrak train service and the enterprise rental car service, have tried to cheat us. So, be really aware when using them. The incidents are below:

Amtrak: One amtrak agent told something, while the other told the opposite later, denying my right to get back my refund for a ticket cancellation. After waiting for 1 hour 15 minutes on the customer service line, I somewhat managed. But they are not to be trusted.


Enterprise: If they ask you to upgrade your car level, never do that. This means, they don't have that low level car at hand, and they'll have to upgrade anyways. They are just trying to get some more money for that.

Don't think large companies are nice!

lens.com and justlenses.com DO NOT BUY

DO NOT BUY from lens.com or justlenses.com
They try to make every effort for the customer to suffer. Their shipment is extremely SLOW, their sales support is very POOR.
So, NEVER ever SHOP from those two web sites (don't even click):
lens.com or justlenses.com

More new technology

Today's topic is the new Adobe Acrobat Reader (it's name might have changed, but everyone knows what i mean, the pdf reader). Now, it really reads.
Yes, you select some part of the text, and then tell the program to read it out loud for you. It can easily read numbers, percentages, ratios, etc. All this is in just your very basic pdf reader, nothing more...
Note: Don't download the adobe photoshop album starter edition, which they try to make you download with the reader. I hate when they try to trick you doing such things. Such a big company like Adobe should not be doing those tricks.
