After contacting XFX over my graphics card I got an email. Though it was short it did admit that my card had failed but since then I have heard nothing. They didn't say if they were replacing the defective product so I have contacted them again asking when and now await their response. It has been over a month now and I was hopeful that I would have had this problem resolved by now. Sadly I am still in limbo. You would have thought that any company would have been more than happy to replace a faulty product to save themselves from any bad publicity. That should be even more important given the fact that modern communications allow customers more of a voice. I doubt I will need to resort to twitter in the hope of getting them to take me more seriously. I think I have been more than patient so far.

Maybe this year Magz will get to enjoy some home grown cherries. My cooking apples are doing well though there aren't many eating apples. I think that is due to the fungal infection from last year, which reminds me that I may need to spray it again so it may give more fruit next year. If the weather dries up over the next few days I might get the chance
