Verily I say unto thee, that Roy Schestowitz spake thusly:

"It would have been nice to be told why the sudden change of heart. :P
I received no appology for the mix up or anything."

A sudden U-turn after all that hostility. Hmm, I wonder why?

Still, this is a bit of a hollow victory. If he hadn't been a GNU/Linux
user, PC World would simply have repaired the broken hinge. A refund
just seems like a two finger salute, especially with no apology.

I find it incredible that PC World would rather lose a sale, than repair
a broken hinge, simple because the OS on the laptop is GNU/Linux. Such
bigotry is shocking.
