A USR sales droid called me last week trying to get me to trade my PM3 in
for a USR TC for no additional price. They couldn't believe I didn't want
to. Heh heh heh.. I don't remember having to buy a USR TC in addition to
trading the PM3 for a USR TC either, but I could be wrong.
Beyond all of the reasons not to use the USR TC & X2, I see that this
droid @capella.com is another fool brain washed by hype. This message was
spammed to isp-marketing@sparknet.net - that list is for discussion on ISP
marketing issues, NOT telling everyone about your stupid new deal you got
to resell a piece of crap.
