But that wasn't the end of it....

Per my previous installment, I placed that Amazon order what I thought was correctly.

But then I received email saying the debit card denied payment.

Huh?

So I got to waste more of my life on this happy horse shit, because it turns out that in addition to activing the card, I also needed to talk to someone at the card company to associate my name and address with the card for Amazon's sake... and then “wait up to an hour” for it to “take”...

Needless to say, I will not be happy while reading the next several articles that come my way praising our current state of technology....
