I tried, but he was in 'Unmoving Corporate-Line Mode' and didn't seem to
have the authority to negotiate. I dare say the dept. manager might have
been more lenient, but hey - I'm one amateur punter (customer) with an
entry-level piece of kit, not a peferred buyer worth zillions. They can
afford to brush me off.
True, a half price replacement does seem reasonable - except when one
realizes that for twice as much, today's scanners are twice as good! I
think I'd rather spend the same money on a used Coolscan.
Thanks for your .02
