In this section I describe my experience of trading with
a number of companies. Before I placing business with a company, I like
to hear about the experience of previous customers. I hope that the
following is of use to you.

Coldseal Hell - in my opinion, every bit as low as one would
expect the double glazing industry to sink. I was rang at
home by a Scottish sounding cold caller from this shower in
August 2006. He started off by saying he was not touting for
business but undertaking a survey - yeah right! I asked him
where he got my phone number from as I am ex-directory. The
representative replied that "Jesus appeared to him in a dream
last night" and gave him my number. I asked to be put through to
his manager to identify where this rogue trader style company
had got my number from. Another Scottish guy came on and asked
me to hold the line while he hung up on me. I contacted their
head office to complain - they have a Scottish telesales centre
where I presume that these lowlife bums operate from, but the
impression I was left with was that they really didn't give a
shit what was said on their behalf. Make of Coldseal what you
will, but given my experience of the way they operate I wouldn't
dream of ever giving them any business. |

TomTom Go730 connecting to Virgin Mobile via my Nokia
TomTom are a real pain. I've just put this little fix here so I
remember how to get the connection going again between my Go730
and Virgin Mobile 3G, forget all the login scripts and
connecting manually, it isn't necessary. Firstly use the TomTom
and go to Change Preferences, find Factory reset in the menu and
reset the TomTom and switch it off. Delete the pairing between
the TomTom and the phone in the phone. Take the battery out of
the phone to reset it. Switch them both back on. Add mobile
phone to the TomTom and follow the instructions, it should
connect automatically. The bit that goes wrong is where it
invites you to connect to the TomTom server whilst creating a
connection to share anonymous info, do not accept this
invitation and the rest should proceed okay. When the connection
is established, Go to TomTom traffic (if that's the service you
have) and you will be invited to input your username which is
the same as your email address that the TomTom account is
registered in, then input your password, it only accepts lower
case but don't worry. Voila, it should all be working until the
next time it fails!

USB
Bluetooth Dongle BTA-3130 Driver
I had a nightmare finding the drivers USB Bluetooth Dongle
BTA-3130 on the web, so I posted the files from the CD ROM
on the link above. Don't install the drivers with the dongle
plugged in! |
