Memory box???  :)  Well, it *is* a box and it *does* hold some memory!

 BN(J| Maybe you could have pointed out to them that indeed it did not
     | have a hard drive?  I'm not saying they would have necessarily
     | changed or altered the price, but they need to know that a
     | mistake was made.

As if they care.  I say that because I have seen items which were
bought then returned as defective put back on the shelves.  A stock
clerk says that sometimes he has to physically put items which he knows
have been in and out of the shop a couple times into the dumpster
because the central distribution center won't get rid of them.

Of course, a black Marks-A-Lot pen can help to drive the point home, as
I had to do with the two Atari 7800's at the Goodwill next door after
two weeks of them occasionally "visiting people's houses overnight".
DO NOT BUY, DOES NOT WORK is usually enough for a literate customer.
