- I don't wish to be wise after the event, but you should have taken it
- back to the dealer and got them to replace it. They have an
- arrangement with the supplier (CBM) and get a much better service than
- you are likely to get being a lowly user :-), and, afterall, it is
- your right if you claim that the goods were of unmerchantable quality
- when you bought them, or malfunctioned after a non-reasonable amout of
- time.
