Abbreviated Version:
I built a new computer and all the parts shipped from the next state over, but the motherboard was comming from California, which ment it would not be delivered until after the holiday. So, I order another motherboard and have it shipped overnight with the intention of returning the first board and saying it was the second board and get my money back.
When I build the machine on thanksgiving, the motherboard that was rushed to me was broken and didn't work for shit. Next day I go out and pay twice as much at the local retailer just so I can finish building the damn thing. Works Fine.
Next, I had to buy another motherboard to replace the one from the local retailer so I can get all that money back I overpaid.
Then I got an RMA for the damaged board and sent that back.
I now have the first motherboard (Which was free as part of a bundle which I will never use) and the motherboard I actually installed. The cost to juggle all these damn motherboards was about $500. After the dust settles, my free motherboard will have cost me $160.

Hi -=LRK=-, I’m out searching the web for the latest
and greatest information on addaware and found your
great site. Although Stupid Story 11-29-05 wasn’t specifically
what I was looking for it definitely got my interest
and attention. I see now why I found your interesting
blog when I was looking for addaware related
information and I’m grateful I found your site even
though its not a perfect match. Great Post, thanks
for your informative site, Here’s my favorite quote
for you - "The real danger is not that computers
will begin to think like men, but that men will begin
to think like computers. " - Sydney J. Harris
The spamming never stops I guess... how unfortunate...
i clean it out all the time too.
Excuse me, what's a P.E.B.K.A.C.?
P.E.B.K.A.C = Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair (meaning the person using the computer is an idiot, or what I like to call, the ID10T or I-D-TEN-T effect).
:D
Aha, thanks. =D
