Ken talks tech on Vonage V-phone and the "Easy as 1, 2, 3 Setup", or how come these new things are so…

The title of this section of the Viodi View was originally known as Krazy Ken's Korner, named after that famous and fellow San Jose State Alum, Krazy George (inventor of The Wave). Part of the reason for including "krazy" in the name of this section was that it represented the feeling I so often have when working with technology. 

For decades, I have been seduced by the promises of a technology to save me money or make my life easier. More times than not, however, I spend way too much time trying to implement the technology and often times it either doesn't work or even meet the expectations set by the supplier; yet, I never learn.

At the OPASTCO 2008 Summer Convention last month, I thought I had a great way to save a few dollars in roaming fees, while trying out a new technology/service. Fortunately, we were in a video mode, so you can see the experience Roger and I had, as we realized that Vonage's V-Phone didn't operate the way we thought it would.
