Sorry Bruce, I just hate to see people get away with stuff like this. They 
figure just because you get your money back that they are not hurting anyone. 
Who knows maybe they will ship the units. Maybe they financed a huge order 
with Clevo (since the pic on the Medison website is a Clevo M540V). Then they 
dump them cheap, file banckruptcy and burn Clevo and their financer ?
