Ok heres a story that is quite hilarious.
Recently my laptop charger for my battery broke :(. So I had to get a new one if I ever wanted to use it. One problem was it was of an old laptop - The Dell Laptitude so as a result I had to get it from Dell themselves :/
So we pay for it and await it and it arrives several minutes ago... One problem.. it looks very different to the original. When I first got it I thought this seems a bit light.. I open it and it is none other than a SCSI motherboard control scsi cable. If you have seen one of these you will know it looks completely different to a battery charger. You have to laugh but now I have to go through the hassle of sorting out what's happened and wait several more days for it to come..
I always get this problem with companies like Dell.. it's starting to annoy me. :(

I would complain and tell them you aren't happy with the service thay have provided. Try get a discount on the price or free gifts or something. Its worth a try. : )
and to top that all off I had to pay money to return the wrong goods and I had to pay for an expensive long distance phone call. Shame I HAD to buy from Dell because they are the only ones that will do me a recharger for my Dell Laptitude (an old laptop)
At least I'm getting it tomorrow before 6! :D
And yes M16 it is funny ;-). If you have seen a SCSI cable and compared it to my recharger you would notice there is NO difference whatsoever!

There's a lesson in there somewhere...along the lines of "never buy from Dell"..
"Ok heres a story that is quite hilarious."
It was?
I am starting to loose my sense of humour then.. :(
