First of all, this was a "Best Data" card for $100, so you should have known that it was an M64. And those that don't know the difference won't care, and they're not getting ripped off because they're getting a lesser card for less money, not a lesser card for more money. Secondly the M64 is a TNT2, it just has half the bandwidth of the regular TNT2, so there was no false advertisement. And thirdly, get real..."do I sense a lawsuit here?" Fry's has a 30 day return policy, so return the thing, end of story. You thought that you were getting something for nothing, although nowhere were you told that. Through your own ignorance of the situation you convinced yourself that it was a deal too good to pass up, and now that you realize that it wasn't, you're pissed off. Fine, be pissed off, but only at yourself for not realizing that things that seem too good to be true usually are. "Do I sense a lawsuit?" Please. I'm trying my best not to swear, but what the hell were you thinking when you said that. And you're supposed to be college educated. And by the way, no secrets were revealed here, only an idiot was revealed. Sorry if you don't like my candor, but someone has to tell you that you're way out in left field on this one. And you did post it. If you had kept your stupidity to yourself, no one would be pointing it out to you. --Kevin
