Ruh-roh!!
Better get to Best Buy or something! Costco is always good for electronics, too, and they extend your warranty by a year, I believe.
Good luck, Tom!

Iβve been posting only from my phone for about two years. Itβs not all that hard once you get used to it.

Somewhat of an update. Working off the wife's tablet(?) is a chore after using my desktop for so long, so please bear with me. What timing! My posts will sorta few until I get a grip on this gadget or get my new desktop. Thanks for understanding.

Rough on a deputy when disarmed.

Tom, I've been using a 9" Samsung tablet from day one. Got myself a bluetooth mouse, and all is good!

Starting to get the hang of this tablet thing. Still have a issue with viewing YouTube video's. I'll get that figured out. Again, thanks for the support.

Ha! I already shoot a rifle left handed, but, right handed in everything else. Left eye dominate stuff.

Pops is hangin' in there Al. Not great, but they've been able to reduce o2 level to 5 units. Just trying to get feeding tube in the right place right now. He desperately needs nutrition. Fingers crossed and prayers flowing.

UPDATE! "New" computer arrived yesterday. I ordered a new H/P 8100 Elite desk top with 19" LCD screen, blue tooth, wi- fit etc. What I received was a "refurbished H/P 5800(older), a non LCD monitor, no blue tooth and pretty cheap keyboard. " Refurbished"! This is NOT what I ordered. And it came from an out sourced seller to boot! HAve already contacted Wal- Mart requesting total refund and they can pick it up. Suppose to know Mon. Geez, at least I have this tablet thingy. Rant over. And thanks for your patience Henry folks.

RANT well justified .... stick to your guns on them taking it back .... no way I'd order another from them .... we had good luck at Best Buy where we got to see different models in person and to walk out with the ones we wanted

Why does it take till Monday to get a refund. Should be immediately especially if its not what was ordered. Donβt let up on them Tom.
