Opps, my mistake. DUH.
About IBM getting users POed, now they will NOT replace my Multiport II
without a credit card number, and they still don't know the correct date
for my warranty termination (March 6, 1999). I mean, do they
expect everyone, especially a high school student to have a credit
card? That just makes me REALLY UPSET!
