Welcome to the "Mendicants And Supporters Of Cms Hard drives, Inc., Society of Mavens." (M.A.S.O.C.H.I.S.M.) Our society requires that: a) you must have spent several dollars making phone calls to get RMA numbers, and b) be inconvenienced by the machinations... preferably losing some valuable data from your hard drive, and c) become acquainted with the UPS desk persons on a first name basis... The charter members of M.A.S.O.C.H.I.S.M. (I and jlink@pro-xy) have liberalized the original criteria--from having to return a CMS hard drive (although _that_ action advances you, automatically, to the 23rd degree status) to others who have had similar experiences. Our more liberal membership rules extend to other individuals who have had to suffer through weeks of deprivations--awaiting return of hardware/software without which one cannot exist--as long as the above requirements have been met. If M.A.S.O.C.H.I.S.M. membership continues to grow, perhaps we should start our own "feed" to provide support and encouragement--perhaps another twelve step program--for computer junkies. garths@pro-xy (Garth Shultz)
