Fix It: Apple OS 10.5.3 Fails to Get to Login Screen




(No Ratings Yet)Tivo, Remember that Customer Service is the New PR




(No Ratings Yet)This post was originally conceived as a rant but now I am writing it as a bit of constructive criticism and advice directed towards Tivo, as well as other companies that do any kind of Customer Service/Support or Public Relations (so that would be most companies out there, right?).
