    Ode to the 2090

    On a day ever so sunny and clear
    I ordered my sager, my baby, my dear.
    The phone rang for confirmation
    My heart sank with constirnation
    "theres a 10 day backorder we fear"

    'That's alright!' I said with all my might
    'I'll wait in line with bated breath'
    little did I know, how far I had to go
    I'd be waiting nearly to my death.

    Head in my hand,
    A tear in my eye,
    Was that extra gig of RAM
    Worth making me cry?

    Some unpacking pictures sustain me
    Though the forums sometimes they pain me
    For my signature seems like a tomb
    with the headstone of Coming Soon.

    /sobs. :'( whaaaaaa


    ...lol

    Nope. His complaint about the wait was in poem form. + points. Also, it was entertaining. + points. He did not ask for free stuff, + points.

    Your posts on the other hand...

    I think you must be confusing me for someone else, I voted against the compensation poll, against writing a complaint letter, etc etc. I simply think people have a right to be frustrated at this point, and you seem to think anyone who isnt happy waiting should cancel. We have agreed on most everything else but the "happy to wait it out" part.

    This really is an excellent poem :)

    **Off topic**
    aeauvian:

    I assume you mean my posts. I don't like freebies (someone pays). Read my signature - I believe people should pay for or otherwise earn anything they have. I also believe in personal responsibility. You are responsible for taking care of yourself (life source). Companies are responsible for taking care of their customers (money source). I like good companies that take responsibility for their customers' dissatisfaction. You are free to dislike customers with high expectations. If you operated a company, I wouldn't purchase anything from your operation. However, as a company owner, I'd definitely appreciate your business :)
