Grrr!

I am so annoyed! A while back I ordered a camcorder online as a gift for Tom. Realizing I had forgotten to order the discs that are needed to record on before I finalized the sale, I called Customer Service and asked to add the needed discs to the sale. The guy I spoke to looked up the sale and said he could nake the change easily, but I could also just buy the discs at any store--they are the standard discs you can buy anywhere. Great!

Well, somewhere in our conversation the delivery address got messed up. I was going to be at Jen's when the delivery was made, so I asked for delivery there. It never arrived, but it was sitting on my front porch when I got home. I was getting ready to wrap it up to give to Tom and decided to double-check the disc issue by reading the instruction booklet, and it was a good thing I did! This camcorder takes the less-commonly used but still commercially availale 8cm DVD-R disc! So much for Customer Service knowing what they are talking about. Now I have to go shopping for the right size disc before I wrap and present this gift. Grrr!
