Scooter Chronicles

Excuse the blantant comment. But I had enough of their problems last week, and yet I continue to find more ineptitude to make me not ever want to even hear their name again.

Back on Thursday, I finally seemed to get through and have the processor resent, after TD’s typo that sent the first replacement to the wrong address.
