       Maybe it would have been best for you to just send it all back and buy   
   what you need elsewhere...at least you would have received your money back   
   and then gottne what you are looking for and been happy....it may not have   
   been what you wanted, but at least you would have gotten your money back and   
   now you havbe to spend more to get the thing you need....   
      
   Just a thought..
