Moments of Truth - 7 am at Circuit City

Well ok - really was 8 am - I managed to get back to sleep for a couple hours.

8a.m. at Circuit City in my area is a trip. Staff is everywhere...customers are nowhere to be seen. I have them all to myself. Bernanke at the Federal Reserve will not be happy about this but I AM!

I walk up to the check stand - pull out the box and receipt and start into a spiel I have been rehearsing for the last three hours in my sleep explaining how it isn't might fault I didn't know it wasn't going to work with my motherboard.

I am half way into the spiel when I realize she is processing the refund and I look at the clerk and say "you really don't care do you?" She smiles and say nope, refund or exchange?

So I run over to the counter and find the exact same drive but in IEDE. Head back to the counter and it turns out it is a straight across trade.

So I am pumped. I can get home, install this drive and have my system restoring before my daughter is even up for breakfast.

But I didn't yet understand how screwed I was!
