May has come and gone, spring is here and summer is almost upon us. That must mean it's press trip season. I'm off to Monaco tomorrow, thanks to Dell, who seem very fond of whisking journalists off to foreign climes for a day to announce things they're going to press release the next day. Not that I'm complaining: you just don't get this on consumer IT mags - God bless trade mags!
Anyway, probably no blogging tomorrow, but I'll bring you back pictures of airports, train stations and probably not much Monaco on Wednesday. Assuming my camera doesn't get nicked like it did in Zaragoza.
Since it's nearly a year since that particular event took place, I'm finally able to cancel the contract that I took out with Orange when I got back from that press trip. Despite really wanting to like Orange, they've been nothing but rubbish and I'm paying out about £30 a month on a contract, even though I work from home and barely use the phone. So adios Orange, hello Virgin Mobile, I hope.
I say/write 'I hope' because getting an address to send my request to is particularly hard now they've merged with Wanadoo and redesigned their site. I've already tried speaking to a customer service rep, who apologised for Orange being rubbish at customer service and then told me to contact the company nearer the time. He really wasn't getting it, was he? I'll keep you updated on my progress.
