I belive your talking about stans old place... I sure miss him... he 
always funny...

You might talk to them to try to get your money back... if they told me 
that I might have used it, and am trying to return it, i'd just say, no, 
never used it, and doing so would be a crime. If your going to accuse me 
of commiting a crime, you better call the police, otherwise, gimme my 
money back before it becomes a real problem for you. I would have also 
mentioned that If they dont, i'll take my case to microsoft, and tell 
them exactly why I have to waste thier time instead of the retailer that 
sold it to me. There's no guarantees on anything, however If they didnt 
give me my $180 bucks back, I'd spend $180 on newspaper ads telling 
everyone in eugene how cool VOS is (but thats just me... you dont have 
to roll like that...)
