TD may be a slimy, horrid company, but if you keep reciepts, and buy name brand equipment... you can end up having a decent experience. I usually buy my ram there, and have never had a problem with it, but even if I did -- I have my receipt, and have never had any trouble RMAing their stuff. Most of my systems are built using NewEgg parts, with TD store filling in between-system gaps. Maybe I'm the exception, not the rule, though. -- Jason Faulkner ------------------------ OldOs.org Owner/Admin / http://oldos.org / [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------ Certified INGOTS Gold Assessor Trainer / http://www.theingots.org ------------------------ OpenOffice.org Marketing Volunteer / [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
