Just be glad it was only $150. I was at one airport where the
preauthorization was in the kilobuck range, and there was some problem
with the machine where the logical response was to swipe your card
again, making multiple preauthorizations. The FBO said they knew it
was broken, didn't know how to fix it, and charged me $0.10 per
gallon to get fuel out of the truck rather than self serve.

Morris (unless I'm mixing up two different incidents)

Sounds like going on the phone with the Toshiba computer tech support
guy! "We will send you a recovery disk for $44.95..."

Toshiba....the company that legally obtained highly classified US submarine
propeller milling technology in the 1980s and then illegally sold it to the
Soviet Union....set the red navy's technologies decades into the future.
I'm not interesting in doing any business with them still.
