Ouch. They do have growing pains I know. Ordered extra memory from them which would not work, called them and they sent more...BUT billed me for both. When I called they said I hadn't sent the bad one back. Next was a waste of calls where I was chewed out for not keeping the plastic bag. Anyway I finally got things straight with an "we're sorry".

Careful David. If you ask again it could slip until December. I can just see the guy reading your e-mail and reaching for his keyboard to re-adjust your place in line. Imagine the fun he had writing that reply. Then smugly thinking to himself, "Any more questions there, buddy?" as he clicked Send. One consolation is that you can be sure that MicroSoft would never treat you that way. Heck, they would have charged you just to read your e-mail.

OT- The National Transportation Safety Board recently divulged a highly secret plan they had funded with the U.S. auto makers for the past five years. The NTSB covertly funded a project whereby the auto makers were installing black boxes in four wheel drive pick-up trucks in an effort to determine, in fatal accidents, the circumstances in the last 15 seconds before the crash. They were surprised to find in 49 of the 50 states the last words of drivers in 61.2% of fatal crashes were, "Oh, Shit!" Only the state of Texas was different, where 89.3% of the final words were, "Hey y'all, watch this!" :^)
