This is one of the gripes I have with the computer industry in general:
if they tell you things like this in advance you could plan for such
eventualities. Instead the consumer does a bunch of time- and
energy-consuming research, does the best he or she can and purchases a
product. Later these sorts of glitches come up and vendors treat you
like an idiot because you expect the product to actually *work*. The
comment that most annoys me is "It only cost $100." In my frugal New
England opinion the word "only" does not belong in the same phrase with
"$100".

End of rant. You can now return to your regular programming.
