Not woth dealing with list #1:
Trinet Motorsports - googlers of note who are unhappy with a bad review. Bad service = bad review.
Prodjcase.com - assbasket scam artists. Took 84 days to ship wrong product. Will not accept return. Their mistake, their lies. Your money. Never buy from prodjcase.

and then she proceded to read me every e-mail in the in-box...
My Bubbie was having trouble with her new e-mail and called me today for some help. I tried my best and got the job done, but getting narration of 11 e-mails, most of which said "hey, you got e-mail! that's great" was a little much.

And who wouldn't want an owl as a little buddy???
Ok, all you hold outs need to get out and buy the 1st Couch Fort CD.
I need to sell 8 copies so I can get a few shirts printed up. I ran out of budget, so sales is the only way to go.
The shirts will be used for:
prizes for James' fabled trivia contest
I'll wear one while I'm on TV (soon to be filmed episode of HGTV's "Mission : Organization")
give aways at the record release party, or some other show that may be in the works
$10 + shipping and it's yours. It'd help me out, seriously.
And to make it a better more personal deal you could get:
CD signed by 2 of the artists involved (me and James)
a special CD-R of either unreleased Solypsis (James) tracks or Eft (me!) tracks
That'd be extra special, indeed.

OK kids, time for a heads up on another deadbeat company : prodjcase.com
My income tax "present" this year was supposed to be a shelving unit for my records. After doing a lot of research, I found a unit from this hack/shit heel dealer "prodjcase.com". We ordered a unit called the ELP-400 for $299 w/free shipping back in April. A day or 2 after we ordered, they billed the card. Several days after that, a representative of their company called me up. Our conversation was about how he wanted to have me get a custom built unit instead of what I ordered, as the item ordered wasn't great quality and he didn't have it in stock anyways, and the time spent doing the custom unit would match the time spent waiting for the unit ordered to arrive. After 20 minutes I got him down to a unit similar to their ELP-300 unit but holding 400+ records and stained black for $299 w/free shipping, as long as I told people I paid $399 (I work in a store that sells vinyl, I would've passed along their "good name").
So they finally ship in August, and I'm suprised to see 2 separate made in Taiwan commercial units made from partical board with a laminate, not the promised custom unit.
I e-mailed them and informed them of their mistake.
They responded that the units sent were the best they could do for the price I got.
Now, these units were neither the ELP400 ordered, nor the promised custom unit.
So I told them this. They didn't listen. I said respond or we chargeback the account.
They stated we would be in trouble if they did. They did not respond, but kept stringing us along. Said the units sent were ELP-200 and since they sent 2, it equaled the ordered ELP-400.
The chargeback was initiated, but it may not go through, as you have 60 days from billing to dispute, but they shipped after the 60 days, so it probably won't work.
I found 7 compaints against them from their local Better Business Bureau (#8 is my own). I also found some complaints on the web:
here
here
and even here
plus here
So, to sum up their scam:
Charge you for what you order.
Ship wrong or misleading items after chargeback period has ended.
Never answer you again.
Let's help these assholes go out of business.

Downfall
It should not take 40 minutes to replace a mouse on a PC. A simple PS/2 interface should yield an easy switch. Not the blue screen of death. I hate Windows, I hate PC, I give up on computers.
