My cubemate and one of his friends were in my cube discussing the problems with said friend's tv. Apparently it was about 14 months old, just two months out of warranty, and it broke. For some reason, the repair shop he normally went to said they simply couldn't fix Chinese-made tvs, and he was out of luck. But I found out he bought it at Costco - "take it back," I said. "They'll refund you 100% of your money."
"But it's out of warranty, and broken."
"Doesn't matter, they'll take it."
"If that works, I'm buying you a steak!"
That was yesterday. I come in to work this morning, and there's a cooler with my steak in it. :-D Getting just a year out of a tv is pretty bad, especially a CRT. Even worse when a shop says it can't be fixed. Hooray for the Customer Satisfaction policy!
Related to Costco, I'm glad they realize that Costco-nerds like me exist. I knew you could order checks at a pretty good price through Costco.com, but I found out from their magazine that one of the patterns you can choose is actually a set of pictures of Costco warehouses from around the country! *click* Ordered! :-P
