Re: [lpc2000] board warranty

2005-11-03 by Peter Jakacki

So you would expect the same from a $200 board as you would from a $500 
board? How does "you get what you pay for" mean "screw you"? Take the 
original comment in it's context in regards to exacting requirements 
comes at a price. It costs to have people there answering and chasing 
after minor complaints then rectifying them. Some hotels pay a lot of 
attention to detail, responding to your whims, while others you have to 
throw the phone at them to get their attention :0 (I'm sure that wasn't 
a "low-cost" hotel but I couldn't help mentioning it).

Many companies would feel more than justified in raising their prices to 
offer a Ritz service but then they wouldn't be low-cost anymore and many 
customers may be complaining that they are too expensive. We have a 
saying here in Oz, "champagne tastes, beer budget".

It may be very good quality beer, but this is what I mean when I say 
"you get what you pay for".
