So I’ve been having problems with my Shuttle PC system. The integrated network card sputters and now I am left with only WiFi via USB dongle to effectively use that machine.

Amazing how useless a computer feels these days when no network connectivity is at hand. But that is another topic entirely.

What to do? Call American Express, of course! Let me explain: under the terms of the
American Express: Buyer’s Assurance Plan your warranty is extended to double the original manufacturers’, which means that since I bought this April 2004 I am in luck!

The claim (#1840819) is that they will refund the charge to the card if everything goes according to plan. Crazy, huh?
