I’ve been on the hold with Time Warner’s CableCARD activation self-help line for about a half hour, waiting for someone to answer.  (I hope they do before they close at 11 Eastern Time!)

And the ooma telo handset I was holding ran out of batteries.  Line dead.  Oh noes!!!

Sadly, I went out to the kitchen to pick up another ooma.

I hit talk and was about to dial when I heard the hold music playing.  Holy crap!  It kept my line on hold and I’m back without losing my place in queue.  Wowzers.
