 I'll be calling them bright and early tomorrow. Hopefully I can get
through the call without asking if they have any service techs that
can read.. :-)

 My ex-wife once worked at a department store customer service desk. I
learned from her that when customers are around, the best way to get
what you want is to yell and scream a lot. That doesn't work on a
telephone though. Thanks for the good luck wish.

 Seriously, I can't believe they won't ship me one. I'm not asking for
free, but I'll buy one of Sara's before I send this one in. I think I
have may have figured out a way to fix it using blue denim, dress
buttons and liquid latex - if I have to. At least it would be unique
then, and I'd make sure anyone that asks gets the whole story.
