Exactly. But you can be guaranteed that other companies are taking interest in this nincompoopery. If no one does anything about this, of if they sue and lose, Stevie and Co. win and everyone else starts treating their customers the same way. Smoked in your car? Drive train warranty is void. Was your camera beside you on the seat? You don't have a warranty on that anymore, either. Based on the way Shimano has treated me concerning some brand new, DOA Dura-Ace shifters, and now this from Apple and all the other horror stories about "voided" warranties, I have come to conclusion that it's "buyer beware", even if you do have a warranty on a brand-new item. Buy your stuff at Wal-Mart. Their return policy is still fairly liberal. -- Scott Loveless Cigarette-free since December 14th, 2008 http://www.twosixteen.com/fivetoedsloth/ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
