VME - Don Klipstein wrote: $30 per year, multiplied by how many customers... If someone thinks of a way to cause a new and long term increase in the corporation's bottom line by a few percent or by millions of dollars per year, that person would be in for quite a bonus.Yeah, but I was talking about this particular case. And in this one, thecompany would have lost (granted it probably wouldn't have cost them the $70retail repair cost, but probably more than $30 - plus whatever it cost toreplace the unrepairable phone).Maintenance contracts and/or extended warranties are usually a bad dealanyway - I'd rather pocket the cost and spend the savings onrepair/replacement if it's ever needed. So far the gamble has paid offhandsomely.My standard line to sales-droids whenever they try to sell me one is "So,you're saying there's something wrong with it?". Kinda takes the wind out oftheir sails (and sales...) real-quick-like. :-)--GregR - Another Beemer Biker ...o&o>Give me ambiguity or give me something else.Proud to be 'anmother Internet terrorist'(e-mail from Tommy Brock at Removeyou.org 5/24/02).
