Sort of on the same subject, I bought a printer from a Commodore dealer (no, it
wasn't a Commodore printer) and had to take it back to be fixed (this was last
Saturday). They told me it should be ready by Tuesday or Wednesday. Nope, it's
still not ready. They said they'd call me when it's ready. I just hope I get it
back before next Saturday - I've got to leave then!
