Sorry to hear about your problem but I thought that by now everyone in
Canada knows better than to buy ANYTHING from FutureShop. Besides their poor
customer service you always have to put up with those stupid rebate coupons
that you never get fully reimbursed for, if at all. My suggestion to you
would be to take the card back to the store, grab the Store Manager by the
throat &/or threaten to shove it up his you-know-where. This physical
approach worked for me the one and only time I was stupid enough to buy
computer components from Future Crap.

Next time your tempted to buy from them cause they are ten bucks cheaper
than the small corner Mom and Dad computer store just remember what happened
this time and let this be a lesson to you!!!!!
