[aclug-L] Sales and lack of stock and non-rain check! Was:Re: Re: If you had a Win98se Question what forum/blog would you go to?

[DAVID CARMICHAEL <dec2955@xxxxxxxxxx>]

System has 512mb [the motherboards max] installed.
When trying to print the system resources say 65%

As I changed the printer settings to print directly to
the printer and not to use the spooler _AND_ to not
start printing till the full job had been spooled...
the printer stopped printing at the same points in the
print job??

I have sent as many as ten single page jobs and all
ten printed with out any trouble...

But the printer will not print even one two page job
with out locking up!

I am starting to think that there is something wrong
with the design of the printer... 

But if that was so I am sure that I would be reading
all sorts of 'bad posting' in the printer forums.. as
OfficeMax [and Staples] has had this printer on sale
for the past three months and my wife was told she was
the first person to exchange the printer to the 'North
Rock' OfficeMax, and I talked to the manager at the
'East Kellogg' OfficeMax and he claims to not had a
single one of the Brother printers returned, yet he
claims to of had a number of "HP's & Lexmark's" return
as non-working....

On another topic... sales and lack of stock and
non-rain check!
Newspaper did not get delivered to my house till 11am
Sunday am.. Wife saw the "$199.00" CompUSA system. We
check both the phone stock and online stock status and
the item is listed as in stock.. so just to make sure
before we drove I called the store directly and was
told that the store was not connected to the stocking
system and they only had five of the systems which
were sold out when the store opened at 9am... But
called back and spoke to a different clerk a few hours
later and was told "...the manager would only allow us
to sell five on sale but have 15 in stock...which is
why the stock status is stating the item is in
stock..." While the addvert says "Limited to stock on
hand" is this leagl??
