Update on the lappy

Thanks to all of you for advice, commiseration, rightous anger, and all. The matter is being resolved in the best possible manner; there is even a remote chance that I may get my email back. (The original contract was for 'transfer', not 'recovery', which is why I couldn't just outright demand that everything be restored.) This round of interaction with TechFusion has been much more fruitful, and I still think they're far more capable than your standard CompUSA people.

The only thing left to wonder is: am I getting this treatment because I have convinced them with my rational arguments and calm demeanor, or am I getting this so that I will shut up? An unanswerable question, really.

I'm gradually becoming accustomed to Half-n-Clowns, and it's getting accustomed to me in turn. And the cat is not allowed on it.

More later in the week, now that thinking about email doesn't make me twitch.
