    I have done some report writing and was a stand in sys admin in my 'yout'.
    It just didn't appeal to me. I dropped out and the tech passed me by.

    This ramble isn't about the tech-it's the waste of money and time by two users who are not satisfied over a small 'problem' with the service or product.

    How many units are there on the market? TWO PEOPLE AREN'T HAPPY?

    Again, It is a principle, but what is the purpose of the lawsuit?

    They got thier money back!

    Divided we fall.

    I laugh, therefore? I am.

    If a company came & took back something I had purchased from them
    without explanation, I think I'd be ticked off too. I was surprised that
    Amazon would make a mistake like that.

    I don't have a kindle but my daughter does and she loves it.

    They didn't take the kindle they merely took off two books that could have been purchased new or used for a few bucks.

    It's not like they canceled a subscription or pulled the plug on it.

    So, are we all supposed to sue the car companies because they didn't give us a life time supply of gas, oil or quarters to run the air pumps at the service stations?

    I have to check my filthy mouth here.

    So, this means that I should sue McDonald's for not giving me a straw with my shake? Or leave pickles off my Big Mac? The world will not end because of those things?

    When my cable company or a channel get rid of a program, change the station number or increase my monthly bill?

    I tend not to go "impotent" because something like that happens.

    Now, If I take a med and I grow horns, a tail or another set of genitals-then I get ticked and see what the med co can do for me.

    But to subscribe to tech and have them delete a service or a part of the service, I don't huddle in a corner holding my head and sob, then call a lawyer to sue the pants off of a company for something stupid like a deleted book.

    Remember the 'consumer assignment" you got in school?
    Write a note to a company to complain about something, then see what the reply was? You were graded on how, what and why-then on the answer from the company.

    This 17 year old pansy probably broke out in pimples and wet his bed because his homework was gone. Then his parents got a lawyer to sue.

    INstead of teaching kids-and having some adults- get a little sense of "Life says Eff You, whatcha gonna do, when your luck runs out on you!" we hand off the problem to a lawyer, the courts and how many hours and dollars of waste?

    Again, nice product, nice tech - Stupid consumers, Whiny consumers.

    -----------------------

    I bought a 12 pack of 7-up to take camping.

    It had carbonation. but no flavor.

    I used it anyway as seltzer water. I emailed the company, they sent me three coupons, for a replacement 12 and 2 - 2 liter bottles.

    My life went on and the only thing that bothered me for all of two minutes was having to drink a 7&7, one seven short.

    I am sure I could have driven down the hill and bought some 'fresh' 7-up, then made up a huge story about how my weekend was ruined etc., etc.

    Remember when the tires on cars were exploding and killing people?

    That's a lawsuit- Acting like a bunch of p-ss--s because of a book taken off a computer, then making it sound like they were abused because they were not told about it?

    Please.
