Hello all.  Here’s a link so that you can get a free apple 40 gb photo ipod.  I currently only have 1 out of 10 referrals and would appreciate anyone willing to help me out as well as get themselves on the right track to getting a free ipod for themselves.  There is something in it for you too.  Thank you very much!

Story #1

one day I was visiting my grandmother in NYC and noticed a 40gb HD for $30 at CompUSA… not a bad price considering I had an old computer with a burnt-up HD. I went into the store, found the large display of HD’s (suspiciously still full, it looked like none had been bought). I picked my 40gb (a Maxtor, btw) and went to the register to buy it. of course, there was the inevitable half-hour wait in line. i bought the HD, only to find that i was still charged the standard $80, and was given a rebate reciet to fill out. when i got back to Kentucky (where I lived at the time), i filled out the rebate and sent it to whatever rebate company CompUSA used. the HD was defective, but thats another story :roll: . a few weeks later i received a form postcard from OfficeMax saying that my rebate for Belkin CD cases was invalid. i knew that Belkin didn’t make CD cases, and also that i had never, ever shopped at OfficeMax. i checked rebate central (or whatever the it was) and it said that my rebate tracking information was incorrect, even though i searched many time over using different parts of the info (email… item#... name… tracking number…). i tried to call OfficeMax and explain the problem, but got put on perpetual hold… waiting 3 hours before my calling card ran out :roll:

I still have the defective HD, which turned out to not be returnable except at the retail location where it was purchused, all the was in NYC…

Story #2

i purchased a router and PCI 802.11g adaptor to spreadd a roadrunner line between us and our downstairs neighbor to cut the cost a bit. everything went as smoothly as can be expected until i rebooted the downstairs computer.. blue screen (you know what i mean :x ). i reinstalled several times but still got the screen. i tried to return to NewEgg(who i still love), but was told that it would only be replaced with one ofthe same model. it took 18 days to ship, and a long time to coach it to work right, so 30 days had passed. now i live in Hawaii, so shipping of anything is outrageous. i obtained an RMA, and sent it back, hoping to get it within the 14 day window. that is the stage i’m at now, currently kicking myself realizing that the cost of all the trouble (cost of shipping+cost of not splitting the roadrunner line for a month) is more than the cost of a card at wallyworld 😢 ... the futility of life…

Not really a retail frustration, but definitely a funny story.

I upgraded the firmware on my iPod the other day, and it said to plug it into the wall adapter to complete the upgrade. Well, lo and behold, i had left my adapter at school when I came home for break thinking the USB cable would be enough to charge it. So I was naturally screwed, as my iPod was inoperable until I could find a plug.

So I took it to Circuit City. They had one of those speaker docks set up for people to test their iPods out, and this guy was listening to his iPod on the speakers. When he left, I sat mine in the dock and it turned on and reboot, taking about 15-30 seconds. Just as it was finishing up, this associate walks by and says “oh, I see you’re testing out the speakers, how do they sound?” I replied, “They work just great, thanks alot, guy!” And picked up my iPod and walked out the door. Success, my iPod had rebooted and was upgraded successfully!

:lol:  That was smart of you. When I read you went to Circuit City I thought you were gonna buy a charger ... LOL…. I dunno what I was thinking ... free re-charge is better.  😛

I should probably go and buy the car charger, but I dunno. The ipod seems to last long enough as it is, and the only time I’m in the car that long anyway is for the 8 hour drive home… maybe the 12 hour drive from home to my grandma’s (which stops right through where I go to school, and its 4 hours from there.) So I don’t think I’ll get it. I can probably make it 8 hours on a single charge, especially since I just use the cassette adapter.

anyone here been banned from a store lol?
