Here it is in the year 2002, and companies still operate under the Draconian idea that if you are not busy 8 hours a day with your nose to the grindstone, then you must be "neglecting" your job. Does a hospital administrator walk into a doctor's lounge area in a hospital and tell all the coffee drinking doctors to "get back to work"? Does a department store supervisor tell his counter clerk to "get back to work" even if there are no customers to wait on? Should firemen at a fire station feel guilty of being lazy when there are no fires to put out? I'm glad that my work place has a mindset that is above a piece-works factory and that "doing my job" effectively is more important than "looking busy". Heaven forbid anyone actually realize that I can do my job and browse the internet, all in the same day!

I'm on here during the day but I own the business. I wouldn't appreciate my workers playing on the internet while I'm paying them.

I believe in the "golden rule" --- He who has the gold, makes the rules....:-)

I'm not aware of any bugs with FerrariChat.com, we've been using the same software for two years.

Problems last year were related to a flat file system which has now been upgraded to a full relational and scalable database.

If your login doesn't work, it's 99.9% of the time inputting a wrong username and/or password. If you get "account not activated", then please email me. If you forget your username/password, you can go to "Edit Profile" and retrieve that information. If you have problems beyond this, please email me and I usually can help you out within a few hours.

Open IE

Go to Tools, Internet Options, Connections, Lan Settings and Remove the proxy. If there are no settings,

Your SOL.

My boss tried to block some internet sites about 2 years ago. I played around with the computer and got back online. My boss gave up trying after that, and has not said a word about it since.

I find the internet keeps me in a flow. My work is really spotty where it's 110% intense or dead. Keeping my mind active stabalizies my day . What other sites do you visit in a typical day?

I visit a few car racing sites, a news site, and check the finances.

They would have to add it to the block list. Did it work and then go away? In that case they noticed you were on it too much. If you never had acces, then the key word "chat" probably blocked it.
