ISP Information:
A means of executing a group of instructions within a program. Many programs offer the capability to put together macros so that you don't have to do the same group of repetitive instructions one by one. You can program the macro to do any number of instructions. Many programs allow you to extend the simple macro languages that they provide with other, more complex programming languages. ISP Glossary:
Macro - If you read the very long OP, what it boils down to is: Nextel customer relations department managed to sell the OP a maintenance plan that the OP should not have needed.You absolutly do need the maintenance plan.Why? You need insurance for a $100 expense if the phone breaks?If an unexpected $100 expense is a problem, maybe you can't afforda cellular phone. Also, with consumer electronics, you shouldconsider that it often doesn't make sense to repair a broken oldpiece of equipment, as newer equipment is often much better, andoften cheaper.The phones are covered for oneyear and one year only. You have insurance if your car breaks right?Mechanical breakdown insurance? No.Liability insurance? Yes, but that's not for fixing the car.Youbuy an extended warranty for your dvd player right?I don't have one but I don't buy extended warranties for similarstuff like computers, TV sets, VCRs and other consumer electronics.Why should your cellphone be any different?You need to pay $2.50/month ( = $30/year ) as insurance against a$100 expense? How often do you think these phones break?Have you considered toilet paper insurance? You pay a monthly premiumand then they mail you packages of toilet paper if it turns out youneed some.
