5G

[George Toft]

My return experience was abysmal.  Tech support told me to take it to 
the store.  The store refused it and said call tech support.  45 minutes 
on the phone (again), I got a return label and they told me to take it 
to the store.  Yeah, no - I took it to UPS .

Regards,

George Toft
