I sincerely hope that the OP doesn't get upset with me about what I am going to say. Why is this thread even on the Travel Technology board? It is clearly not travel related.

The proper home for this topic is OMNI based on the guidelines stated in the sticky thread on the top of this board. In addition, you would be reaching a far larger audience and possibly some additional suggestions or someone that had a similar experience with Amazon.

I don't disagree with you . . . but OMNI's pretty wierd. I figured that most of my fellow techno-nerds would've had a less-than-pleasant experience with Amazon at some point and might share solutions (some did, a few criticised my research methods, and the rest told me to get over it).

As CPRich has stated, though, this thread has now outlived its usefulness.

What's most interesting is that most of the people here telling me to just "suck it up, you can't expect good quality at this price" are probably the first to whine to their respective airlines because they want compensation for the busted lav on the last flight they took on a deeply-discounted fare.[/QUOTE]


You are probably right
