Jeff: As I've probably ranted before, this type
of business makes all businesses look bad
and makes even the legitimate businesses
look bad. It's just bad business, plain and
simple, to use a promotion to draw people
in and then say "oops, we don't have everything
we promised". I'm *still* having problems with
my computer and the same thing happened to
me: I ordered from this computer place because
of what they offered; when i got the computer,
they had substituted all kinds of parts (lower
quality, of course) for what i *should* have
been given because that is what i had *paid
for*. so i was given a crap modem, a crap
hard drive, etc, etc, etc. thankfully people
are clueing in to how this cd operator operates.
thanks for the warning. andrew duke
