Several years back, after moving from Philadelphia to Berks County, I used to get a phone call about once a week from a very close friend. This friend and I grew up together and liked to get caught up on each others lives on a regular basis. During one of our BS sessions, this friend [...]
On Saturday I posted a poll asking you how many chances you gave a retailer after a bad experience. In the writeup I explained the situation a bit to try and make you aware of the situation without making this post obsolete. It all revolves around a battery for my new Nikon D40. A couple [...]
