First, you mention nothing about using the telephone to talk to CompUsa. =
 Call them and try to work something out.

One good thing about Maxtor hard drives is that when you open a new =
sealed box, it tears right across the middle of the box ruining it from =
being used for any resold product.

  Hello everyone.=20
  2 month ago, the CompUSA store at Broadway NYC, stole $407 from me.=20

  In April 2nd, while I was touring New York City, I entered the store =
and bought a brand new Westren Digital 20.4GB hard drive, at the second =
floor.=20

  When I came back to my home country, I found out that the hard drive =
in the box, was an old 270MB Quantum!!! My face turned red when I =
realized what has been done to me.=20

  Well, it, of course ruined my lovely 3 weeks vacation.I can do nothing =
about it. I am here, and the store is on the other side of the world. =
The only thing I can do, is to warn you not to buy there anything. =
Please don't repeat the same mistake I did.=20
