less than a year old? should still be covered by the manufacturer's warranty - contact the vendor to arrange return.

maybe where truegenius lives, theft isn't a crime. in which case i'll be round tomorrow to take his computer with the intention of permanently depriving him of it. that is the definition of theft; how can that be applied in any way to my choice to not waste bandwidth on stuff i neither want or...
