No one's gonna believe this...

Three months to the day I ordered this ASUS piece of shit on Dec-22 not 
even suspecting what lay in store. Due to the death of my younger son I 
did not declare the $5 chinese printed circuit joke a hopeless DOA until 
it was too late to to just ask for a refund so RMA became the only 
remaining option. Back it went AT MY EXPENSE, and it lingered there for 
much of this time. At first they outright LIED to me saying that the 
board was posting OK but said that they would send me a new one anyway. 
I don't know if it's a new one I got or the same one, haven't checked 
the numbers yet but it sure is not a new-new box and all. At one time 
they claimed they could not find a another one. Finally several weeks 
ago it shipped ...but to the WRONG ADDRESS on the north shore of the 
St-Lawrence valley which for someone living on Chaleurs Bay is on 
another planet. Both Asus and Fedex wanted me to give my correct address 
to which my initial response was 'you give me what you have and I'll 
correct it if need be'. Asus would not do so, claiming security 
constraints. Cute, them telling ME what they have as MY address is a 
security issue? Fedex never came back at all.

So this morning I receive the board, set it up for intial ring-out, 
everything goes just fine (HUGE sigh of relief!) until it's time for the 
monitor to say "press 'Del' ... to look at BIOS. The keyboard is dead. 
Try another keyboard, AND a third, all the same.

CMOS cleared, no cigar; swing USB ports, no cigar. These monkeys have 
got their fingers up their assholes all the way to the armpit for 
crissake! Sent them an email, starting to be short-fused.
