‘Minds me of the time I stood in line with a bunch of others at the local T-W Cable Co.. I’d compared my modem with the woman’s modem that stood in front of me that had the same problem. I remembered the red ‘x’ next to it’s serial number and after she got her ‘different’ modem, they went out back and brought HER old modem out to replace MINE! I had a lot to say OUT LOUD to the dozen-odd sorts still in line behind me, but b’jezus I made sure that they all got fresh unopened boxes in the replacement of THEIR defective modems. Being in the electronics business and being able to build my own computers, small wonder we couldn’t sue the bastids, but that would be akin to shooting peas against the castle walls back in those “read your contract” days… (sigh)
