[TriLUG] IBM: windows non-install / refund?

[Eric Adles]

Hi Matt,

Here is a link to an old story about someone getting a refund from Toshiba. 
It's a funny story but I'm not sure it's worth it.

and apparently (thanks google) there's a Windows Refund Center to help out 
with this kind of thing:

Best wishes,
