    ordered as "collect from store" so I don't think the PayPal buyer
    protection applies, but I might try that anyway.

    Turns out the PayPal claim did go through and I got an automatic
    refund through their website. Although I guess I've lost the $10
    credit I used on the order. Still dead silence from SCA.

    Of course SCA finally responded the next day, after exactly one
    week, although only to say they'd contacted my local store about
    it.

    Fuck the AI bubble gobbling up new fast RAM (and forcing less of the old stuff to be made).
