Payback, of course.

Hmm, ASUS says Made in China, shoulda known.


Yeah, Asus makes stuff all over the Far East and Pacific Rim. Have
you contacted Asus? It is possible the company will surprise you
and stand behind its product. It does happen. Apple replaced the
keyboard on my laptop with absolutely no hassle, and did it at its
mall store while I waited.

Do they only employ union labor?


Actually some of the techs at the Apple Store are fairly
knowledgeable. I doubt they'd hire a schlump like you.

Are they unionized?



Not that I know of, but they may well be in the future.


Great, that will screw up customer service at all of the Apple stores.

Are you buying quality equipment?
I've had the same Standard Horizon handheld VHF for 4 years.



He uses his equipment. It's not on a shelf 360 days out of the year.

No, Krueger...while I see your posts, the filters I have on my router
prevent your bodily fluids from getting through.

Projecting your own pathetic situation?
I've documented a number of my adventures the last couple of years.

Adventures? Care to post a link to ONE, dummy?

BTW - MY situation is far from pathetic. I boat and fish all year and I
don't have to drill any holes in a frozen lake to do it.
