Tiger Direct

So, it took me about four different numbers to get through with one that didn't want my god damn serial number, but I did it.

And it connected me right to Tiger Direct where Gateway orders from.

The guy actually spoke English! I WAS SHOCKED. But, in other stuff, he also couldn't believe that the bastard didn't tell me I was getting a CD as well. So he gave me the return number, and I can also refuse shipment if I want to. And the cord should be here on Wednesday.

So... I'm getting $30 back off my purchase. GOOD. The cord is actually only $43, and the S+H was $19 to get it here by Wednesday, so it's actually not that bad.

Still, Gateway is going to be getting an email. I don't appreciate being deceived. Not one bit. I am still pissed about the whole thing.

Gateway is damn lucky that Dell sucks so hard, or I would not be buying my business PC from them.

And no, I do not trust HP, Toshiba, nor Compaq or whatever it is. Simply because you can buy them at WALMART. Shitty products are shitty, and you usually get what you pay for, kthnx.
