What happened to my alarm system last night ?

You should find some other profession since you dont know what the heck you are talking about. Plenty of ADT dealers offered to install security for me.

The only company that declined to install alarm system was protection one.

Brent, if your ADT dealer can't figure out how to program your system, the chances are slim he will be able to d/l the event buffer. Never hurts to ask though. js

All ADT dealers offered to install door alarm security in my apt.

Your poor knowledge of security alarm industry shows you are not worth even a dollar and I wonder how many people you ripped off.

May be ripping off unwitting people is your main profession.

I already have ADT system installed in my rented apartment for the last 7 weeks.

I had two other ADT dealers who offered to install before I went with the current dealer.

Get lost.

Dont you have anything better to do in life than wasting peoples time here ?

It wouldn't suprise me if they did installs for renters, with the number of dealers ADT has I'm sure quite a few slip by.

"Hello. Tech Support; may I help you?"

"Yes, well, I'm having trouble with my word processor."

"What sort of trouble?"

"Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away."

"Went away?"

"They disappeared."

"Hmm. So what does your screen look like now?" "Nothing."

"Nothing?" "It's blank; it won't accept anything when I type."

"Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out?" "How do I tell?"

[Uh-oh. Well, let's give it a try anyway.] "Can you see the C:\\ prompt on the screen?" "What's a sea-prompt?" [Uh-huh, thought so. Let's try a different tack.] "Never mind. Can you move the cursor around on the screen?" "There isn't any cursor: I told you, it won't accept anything I type." [Ah--at least s/he knows what a cursor is. Sounds like a hardware problem. I wonder if s/he's kicked out his/her monitor's power plug?]

"Does your monitor have a power indicator?" "What's a monitor?"

"It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV. Does it have a little light that tells you when it's on?" "I don't know."

"Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into it. Can you see that?" [sound of rustling and jostling] [muffled] "Yes, I think so."

"Great! Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged into the wall." [pause] "Yes, it is."

[Hmm. Well, that's interesting. I doubt s/he would have accidentally turned it off, and I don't want to send him/her hunting for the power switch because I don't know what kind of monitor s/he has and it's bound to have more than one switch on it. Maybe the video cable is loose or something.] "When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two cables plugged into the back of it, not just one?"

"No."

"Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the other cable." [muffled] "Okay, here it is."

"Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into the back of your computer." [still muffled] "I can't reach."

"Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is?" [clear again] "No."

"Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way over?" "Oh, it's not because I don't have the right angle--it's because it's dark."

"Dark?" "Yes--the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming in from the window."

"Well, turn on the office light then." "I can't."

"No? Why not?" "Because there's a power outage."

"A power--!?!" ...[AAAAAAARGH!]"A power outage? Aha! Okay, we've got it licked now. Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your computer came in?" "Well, yes, I keep them in the closet."

"Good! Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just like it was when you got it. Then take it back to the store you bought it from."

"Really? Is it that bad?" "Yes, I'm afraid it is."

"Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them?"

"Tell them you're TOO STUPID TO OWN A COMPUTER!"

Very old joke and irrelevant to this thread.

Dont you have anything constructive to say, A.J ?

Do you have a cat?

No, do you ?

Yep. :-)

I thought it was way relevant.

And Brinks has a full multi family (apartment) division.

Less than 1% of people who have security alarms installed in their homes know about CSID, its importance, uses and other intricate details.

Security experts here have such variying opinions about CSID and often wrong info, its plain lunatic for anybody to expect security novices to know about CSID and its other details.

So the joke was irrelevant.

Case closed.

Really? Less than 1%? So how exacty did you gather that data?

Simply by asking them all...sometimes Bob you have such silly question ;-)

If the ADT dealers in your area are installing for renters, ADT Corp sure doesn't know that...
