He placed me on hold to read up on the previous case numbers, again I was on hold for 7 minutes. 1:50 PM, he wanted to initiate another case number, and someone call me back in 24 to 48 hours. I told him NO, he has 10 minutes to either have a refund ready for me or the registered agent in NC, I will sue them. He said this printer is not eligible for a refund. He insist on giving me a new case number and they would call back in 24 to 48 hours. I refuse to wait for another call back, this is nothing more than the run around. I waited 10 minutes and still on hold, I hung up.

12/11/08 Called 650 857 1501 (Virginia) she transferred me to the legal dept which I got was a recording. I left my phone number. Transferred back to the operator (Sandra).
