They promptly issued a refund, but > still.... I got ripped off. I had to send them my Lombard several times and it took over a year to get it back. They still have my 512MB memory and won't return it. It seemed a remarkably sloppy-run business. I feel that they I was cheated. Don Pruitt I was ripped off also. A few years ago I bought a PB 3400 from them. The keyboard was very hard to type on so I called them and talked to a guy who worked there. He said that did not sound normal and I should sent it back to them. I sent it to them but apparently did not do a good job of packing it because the screen got cracked. The owner called to tell me about that and said it would cost $200.00 to fix the screen which is what I paid for it to begin with. He also said the problem with the keyboard was normal so it turned out there was no need to send it to them to begin with. I had paid for insurance on it when I sent it to them but the post office said the company had to file the claim. Instead of getting the screen fixed I bought a Wallstreet for quite a bit more money figuring I could recover part of the cost from the insurance claim. The Wallstreet came and worked fine, but although they promised several times to file the insurance claim and to return the PB 3400 so I could use it with a monitor attached they never did either. Whenever I contacted them about the situation they said they were sure they did process the claim and had sent the powerbook back and would look into it and take care of it. I tried to deal with the post office myself later but by that time I had lost the receipt for the insurance and could not get the number from the receipt on the package from Wegener. That is where things stand. David Wegener used to belong to the swap list and offered things for sale there which is where I first found out about the company. He was eventually kicked off the list for being abusive to people who complained about his business practices, so I know I am not the only one with problems with him.
