[net.micro] More on California Digital

A few people wanted to know what happened to me when I mail
ordered from California Digital. This is basicly what happened.
I ordered an Atari Computer for $747 dollars (this was a while
ago, it was actually a good deal at the time) and mailed
Cailfornia Digital a money order for that amount. It was promtly
cashed. A month later I called CD. They said they sent the Atari.
6 weeks later I called back. They said they sent the Atari. I said
please originate a trace thru UPS. They said be patient. 8 weeks
later no Atari. Still they would not originate a trace. I called UPS
in California. Only the sender can originate a trace. I called back
CD. They were very uninterested in helping me (they already had my
money). I sent a letter of complaint to the Postmaster General.
About three months after I sent in the original order I got the
machine.
