Because I've RMA'd 8 laptops with FreeBSD on them to them and all were accepted. You need to not give in to them being cheap and get what's rightfully yours.

The only reason it got accepted is because of the publics reaction to a situation they don't even understand.

No...that is wishful thinking.

They wrote her back saying that they were not accepting the RMA and were going to send it back to her. Then latter corrected it and sent her the RMA number. If it had anything to do with the story they would have asked her to send the laptop back as it would have already been on its way back to the customers house.

Fair enough. I guess the point I would make is that while I agree that they should accept it, run their net-boot, do their own testing, and fix any hardware issues, I wouldn't bet the farm on them doing so. You never know when the tech is gonna have a bad day, or some manager will have a quota of some sort. Warranties are dicey in most cases, and often replacement parts are cheaper than insured shipping. At the very least, putting the original OS back on the unit before shipping it back should be considered a step that might save you the headache of having to argue with the manufacturer or worse. My 2 cents...

I like this one a bit more, as far as highlighting what is dumb goes.
