- On the other hand, I got bitten by the infamous leap-year bug 6 months after
- I had purchased the product and was told I was SOL unless I shelled out $150
- for a 3-month autosupport contract despite the fact that the product was broken
- when I bought it (albeit in such a way that it didn't show up right away).
- I agree that expecting a company to devote resources to finding and/or fixing
- a problem is a problem. On the other hand, when they have already fixed the
- problem, I don't think it is unreasonable to expect a fix. It's just a matter
- of making the fix available to registered customers only.
