[free-sklyarov] Can you all Help Me??

[Yogi]

Fry's is a fun place to shop because of their large selection and inventory.
I, myself, have never had to go 'round with their customer service but,
based on what I have read (try a Google search), they do not seem to get
very good marks in that area.  I will add my small voice.   -Bob Burns

> I went home opened the box, no manuals and no card!!!
