CD RW8438E

Can you tell me why?

     I had 1 Creative Model: RW8438E (its a CD Rewriter or at least thats
what i thought). Never got it to work once. I complained 4 or 5 times until
i was released a RMA#. I returned the drive and was sent the SAME model
diffrent serial#. I had the same luck as the first time. I tried to get a
diffrent model from Creative because I knew it would not work due to the
fact that there is no mention of the drive on the Creative web site. when i
asked the tech support guy on the phone he said it was actually another
model (That sounded so dumb i didnt believe it) and it was supported. Anyway
now i have the drive they sent via rma and im very angry. It has never
worked once and i feel as tho' i was taken by the Creative company for a
nice ride while they got rid of some overstocked crap drive they dont want
anything to do with. Im out of patience and out $120. I DO believe that i
did my part when i stood at the checkout and paid for the drive, then i was
very understanding when i was unable to get the RMA until the 5th time i
spoke to tech support. The least creative could do is send me a drive that
works or can be supported with a certain amount of effort.

Tell me:

   Has creative spent my money yet? I bet it has. I have yet to make a
recordable.That is so unfair. I spent more time working for the mone,
working on the problem and talking to Creative techs than riting cd's (which
is 0 time making cd's).  They should do the right thing and send me a check
for the money I lost on this drive or A DIFFRENT MODEL so i can say "Yay I
LOVE CREATIVE PRODUCTS".
