So,
Just finished my E4C Literature 150 Final. (passed, thanks to God).
What a Gordian Knot that was.
New computer, thought, hell, new tech, no need for the testing laptop. That was wrong.
They could not grasp the concept I had been with SL, and now wanted to take an E4C test.
Almost had to pay for another Ucard, did have to pay for the Test Now option (which made me look for this thread, I couldn't remember if you paid per test even after buying the feature).
Then, there was a ton of driver and where-is-my-mic issues.
Here's the point I want to make:
They were able to remotely restart my computer, and without my intervention, reconnect to the mother ship and begin anew. Only after they re-popped up the chat window could I see what they were doing again. And they did a ton of stuff, whizzed by.
I'm still, really, really not comfortable with this. Because there's nothing on here I am concerned with losing or being poked through, that minimizes my worry, but no way would I do this again using a work or trusted computer.
Just thought I'd share
