... with a linitx credit note?
A couple of weeks ago someone started a thread over in retail therapy about a difficult time they were having getting linitx to respond to a refund request. I dropped in to let them know my experience last year, which was returning a product and having them deny all knowledge of receipt. A rep from linitx dropped into the thread and, despite my issue having happened a year ago, looked into it and agreed with my POV that they could have been much more helpful at the time, and offered me a credit note for the returned item.
But now I have an issue. I'm short on cash anyway, and really can't afford to buy any frivolous hardware, but the nature of linitx means pretty much everything on there is a) more expensive than my credit note, and b) pretty frivolous.
There's an AM2 barebones system reduced at the minute that I quite like the look of but have absolutely no need for, since I've got three of four desktop systems sitting unused at home already. There's also a rather funky external HDD caddy which includes a virtual optical drive (you load ISOs onto the HDD, the caddy pretends to be a CD rom - nifty!) that caught my eye, but that would be utterly frivolous and feel like a waste.
So, what do you think, Hexus. Do I spend even more money getting a barebones system that would actually be useful but I really don't need, do I buy a frivolous gadget to use the credit note even though I don't really need it, or do I sit on it and wait until (as unlikely as it may be) I actually *need* something from linitx?
Or is there another trick I'm missing here?
Answers on a postcard - or in this thread - please :D
