- After being treated that way you should have kept the 1000.00
- 16meg simms, canceled the credit card you placed the order with
- so they couldn't recharge it.
- And then give them the run around when they finally realized how
- incredibly shitty they treated a customer who in turn was trying to help
- them out!!!!!!
- Then again you're not as cruel as I :-> Still ya should have kept the
- SIMM!!!! Think of it as poetic justice making up for all other customers
- they treated this way.
