- I've dealt with Safe Harbor and have had some minor problems (they were major
- to me at the time since it was a time critical project). Now, If I were to
- buy an audio CD at Wal-Mart and it had a scratch in it, I'd be pissed if
- Wal-Mart didn't take it back and replace it for me. Wouldn't you be shocked
- if your retailer refused to stand behind the product he was selling?
