Think twice before buying anything from this company (Zenith). In June I bought a zenith machine, directly from zenith, in a package that included a mouse (Logitech) and some software. There were some delays because the monitors had not yet been manufactured. They never sent the mouse. They send out these cards listing items that are back-ordered, and offer to refund if you don't want to wait. So I called them to see what the refund would be. The answer: $0.00. They told me that they consider the mouse a free addition to the package (they sold them without mice once). A quote: "you would have bought the package if there was no mouse included, wouldn't you?" Unbelievable. They also told me that there are 2000 such mouse backorders, so quite a few people have been waiting longer than me. These mice are not in short supply. Perhaps they could make even more money if they considered the computer a free addition to the mouse. This was the third zenith machine I had bought. Needless to say I will never buy another one. Any suggestions on getting even with them would be greatly appreciated. thanks, Roger Ove, ove@ncsa.uiuc.edu
