Beats getting an ulcer any day of the week

[mrylmbt]

the good place is in manchester and believe it or not it was circuit city.
this happened a week about 14 days ago and i have been using the computer everyday for about 7 days without a glich....when my computer crashed I would get a blue screen and i couldn't even open it in safe mode.
you couldn't do anything with it. I had 2 freinds look at it and they couldn't do anything. when he replace the ram card it imediatley worked normally and has been fine ever since. I know that every one has good and bad experiences at all aspects of services. but if I would have gone along with
them and said to just fix it then I wouldn't have known that there was another option to fix the problem and would be non the wiser. I would have been happy to just get my computer back. so like I said before just be aware
and get a second opinon.....i bet some people will now say i hate circuit city they screwed me......they did good buy me, better than the local shop here....
and to not at least give me my $50 back....to me there not a good company

Huh? You should know that a stomach ulcer is the result of hyperacidity, which is caused by an increase in the hydrochloric acid in the stomach. This strong acid, secreted by the cells lining of the stomach, erodes the inner lining of the stomach. Dietetic indiscretion such as overeating, taking of heavy meals or highly spiced foods, coffee, alcohol and smoking are the main factors contributing to this condition. Other causes are the ingestion of certain drugs, food poisoning, certain infections, gout, emotional disturbances, stress, and nervous tension.

Note that stress and nervous tension (which you seem to be accusing me of) is not only a secondary cause, but it's last on the list.

Besides, if an ulcer is punishment for taking legal action against a wrongful activity, then I say -- bring it on. People don't deserve to be ripped off, and our legal system is set up to help redress wrongs. The only way to make it work, is to use it when it becomes necessary.
