    oh wow... another 'your OS sucks and here's why' thread?
    or is it the 'my OS is great - you suck' thread?
    'every OS is okay as long as you aren't an idiot?'
    'dirver support sucks for your sucky OS.'
    'My OS beat up your OS.'.'

    Has the lone OS/2 ranger made his rant yet? ...where's my abacus.

  5. best buy wouldn't let me buy anything on Best Buy Says Customers Not Always Right · · Score: 0

    I tried to buy the new Nikon D70 online. They cancelled my order 48 hours after I made it. So I called them and they said it had been cancelled for fraud. The only reason they could give was that my address on my purchase and the address on my best buy credit card didn't match. I did have a different shipping address, but the billing address was the same. After calling the bestbuy credit card people a few times and then calling the bestbuy.com support back the bestbuy.com support person put the order in again after verifying the address and changing my middle initial from 's' to 'S'. Within 48 hours it was cancelled again. This time I got both the bestbuy.com support and the bestbuy credit card company on the line together. THey both said that the information matched. No one could give me a real reason as to why the order was being marked as fraud and cancelled. One person said that it was an automated system that does the fraud checks, the other said it was a team of people. They offered to again put my order in but could give NO promise that it would not be cancelled. So another 48 hours of online status checking and calling bestbuy.com support and hearing things from 'i see no reason your order should not go through' to 'your order will likely be cancelled again' the order was cancelled. I called the office of the general manager for bestbuy.com. He was of course unavailable but his assistant was quite helpful. She put me in contact with one guy who promised that he could help. He looked over the order and resubmitted it promising to check up on it and make it work. This guy gave me updates a couple times a day and did whatever needed to be done to get the order through. My order was shipped 72 hours later. After countless hours on the phone, and much pulling out of hair I got my order. Their customer support is AWFUL. I will still sometimes browse their retail stores, but they will NEVER get a large order from me, and NEVER _ANY_ online business.

    I hope not. 'There are too many connected users. Please try again later.' Sucks.
