I've had a similar experience with Egghead as well.  I bought a computer from them
which was defective upon receipt.  They finally 3 months later authorized a return
authorization.  I returned the unit and have not been issued credit yet (six
months later).  They do no respond to my E-mail.  All I can say is that you must
be careful when purchasing items from the net.  Make sure you are dealing with a
reputable company.   Obviously Egghead is not reputable, or has not been reputable
in this case.  BEWARE OF EGGHEAD!  Anyone with similar horror stories please
E-mail me, so we can compare notes.
