[Eug-lug] XP Pro anyone?

[Jeff Newton]

Jamie,

I was merely referring to you going to Mike for parts and that VOS was 
overstated in their policies on returns and fees. Hey, they still owe me a 
refund, that they say can be used for something else I want to buy it, but I'm 
out a few bucks in my pocket to their scam, than got the modem needed at that 
computer place on 11th and chambers.
