Warranties hadn't expired and yes I could have taken them back where
they where bought from and they would have sent them back to Germany
which would have caused a longer delay than need be. I have never had
any computer equipment go down out of warranty I look after all my
equipment .[color=blue]

Being foreign doesn't bother me in the least what isn't foreign these
days I have two foreign make cars and I shall have a third tomorrow
at this time . Some of us pensioners who have looked after our money
all our working lives instead of going on expensive holidays and
spending it on booze and running up credit card bills etc etc every
week have got bags of money to spend on just about anything we want .
