Thanks for your thoughts on this. I didn't know MS had anything to do with MicroCenter, that strikes me as odd. as far as refusing delivery, I think its a case of damned if you do damned if you don't, if you take the junk now u have something, however that something may burn your house or building down at any time or cease to function like has happened to many others here and then its SOL. Don't want to do the legal part but looks like no other choice, I PMed Bob and he has yet to get back to me.
