about it!) I called the EB only a couple of miles away to confirm that they
had it in stock. I was told yes, and I mentioned that I'd be in that
evening to pick up a copy.
After getting off work at 5:00 I walked to the mall (I have VERY bad knees,
almost crippled right now), waited patiently at the counter while the 4
workers helped 2 customers pay for their stuff and picked out a magazine
while I waited. Finally when it was my turn I asked the lady if they had
N99. She asked me if I had it on hold. I said "no! Nobody said I NEEDED to
have it on hold!" Her helper went into the back and brought me the ONE copy
they had and asked me if I was "Mark". Unfortunately I answered "no" and
was told they couldn't release it without contacting him (he wasn't picking
it up for TWO more days!). Unprofessionally I started yelling (well, not
REALLY yelling, but you know what I mean) at the lady about the fact that I
wasn't told there was a NEED to place it on hold. She basically said
"sorry." Yeah, thanks.
My ol' lady saw my dejected look when she picked me up later and we
spent the next couple of hours looking for a store in Portland that had it.
Luckily Software, Etc. had 3 copies hidden on their shelves.
When I got home, it wouldn't install on my Cyrix machine! LUCKILY it
installed on the Better Half's P5-166! Now I just gotta kick her off her
machine when I wanna race!
'Course I'm using this as an excuse to get a NEW machine!
