The problem with going through the cc company is that bonny intended to use this for work. If that is mentioned, they automatically will not cover it. At least that was my experience with a claim we tried to make regarding some of KCD's tools.

Really? I wonder why. That doesn't seem fair in any way...says the self-employed person who feels pretty battered by how hard that is much of the time.
It's gotta be 8 years old or so.
See? As I've mentioned a few too many times, I'm sure...I have four working Macs, none of which are any good to me. The 13 year old iMac is a champion, except that I can't upgrade it.
I hate the idea of a Windows machine...but I feel pretty let down by Apple these days.

If I remember right, it was about how you could deduct the loss in your taxes and get the money back that way.

Dont tell them it was for work. CC are often very good about reversing charges. Much better than paypal or Amazon. If they refuse, nothing lost that was not already.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
My Stepmom just did this successfully with a custom fit wheelchair for my dad. She didn't want her money back, she wanted it to actually work and then to pay the agreed upon price. They are coming out this week to fix it. I think she uses AmEx. (I don't have an AmEx)
I don't think anyone wants to be the squeakiest wheel, they just want the things they agreed to pay for and have it work. She only involved the cc company because an unworkable item arrived and the company said it was custom so they wouldn't deal with her at all. Contesting the charges was her only option. Hopefully it will end with a chair that is actually comfortable and useful for my Dad.
If you purchased something that wasn't correct, try to dispute it.

bonny,
java is correct. paypal were being assy. that's why my credit card company were the ones to reverse the charges. paypal has it against their terms to do it now (I think), but I don't particularly give a shit. I don't commit fraud, I don't have my bank reverse charges often, and I'm a good customer.
looks like amazon won't close your acct if you dispute. just don't abuse it.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
So I posted a photo on Flickr this morning, and it got one pageview. It came via Google. That means that less than an hour after I posted the photo, someone did a google search on the title of my photo, and there was a high-ranking google result for it.
Freaky.

Tom,
you sure that was an actual person and not a 'bot?

I can type the same search string and see it on Google, too.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I have become one of those people who has to write down every step to open/use a program on a computer. Not on my various Macs, but on the godforsaken piece of shit Windows 7 laptop I have to use to manage the library for the ADD group.
There is nothing about that OS that makes sense. Nothing. Up to and including trying to take a screenshot. I assume the PrtScr key is just a giant prank, right? Because it doesn't do anything.
