After I bought a new hard drive and put xp pro alone on it, they then revealed that the extended warranty didn't include the power switch or speakers.
Like your earthquake insurance isn't valid in California ... They tried telling me that batteries weren't covered, but I quoted their own "limited warranty" to them. Two years on most of the hardware, one year on batteries. It was within the first year. Mind you, the replacement batteries gave up within another year, ore than one year since purchase that was. Funny: the 'non-approved' third party batteries that they told me would void my warranty not only lived longer but powered the laptop for a couple of hours longer. *sigh* if only there was a way to cherry-pick components and build your own laptop much the way I put together an (under-the-)Desktop machine. -- The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts. --Bertrand Russell -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
