For what it’s worth

… you might want to reconsider any purchase from D-Link that involves a rebate. NewMexiKen purchased a D-Link bluetooth adapter in late September and sent in the required rebate paperwork within a few days. For three months the online status report has said, “A check request for $10.00 is being processed.” So they had what they needed.

Today I finally called the 800 number. After getting my information, some poor, bored, young-sounding woman said, “Seeing as how it has been so long, I can expedite that check for you and you should be getting it in 7-to-10 business days.”

Not that $10 is any big deal, but it is my $10, and I’m thinking I had to ask or it might never have come.

(Don’t mind me. My back hurts and I just want to rant. I’d just as soon be eaten by an eagle today.)
