A public apology to Curt Vendel

A long, long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...

 

Okay, it was nine years ago. I ordered a USB joystick conversion kit from Legacy Engineering. Curt got sick. I got a divorce and moved cities. Changed email accounts. My computer died and I did a file recovery onto a new one. Took awhile to find my electronic receipts. Blah blah blah.

 

It didn't stop me from grumbling publicly about it (and him) a few times over the years in this forum. About a month ago, I said something snarky...not proud of it, but at least it got Curt and I talking via PM.

 

Today I got a package in the mail...not the conversion kit (because after so long I doubt he has them anymore), but a brand new USB Atari stick. Works great! I'm a happy boy again.

 

So, sorry I was a dick about it Curt. You came through for me, so I thank you.

He has gone above and beyond to make Thu he right. A couple of weeks ago I received an email from him just asking what, if anything, that he owed me. I have never ordered anything from Curt, however he just wanted to be sure he made good on old orders. I am not sure how many of these "feeler" messages he sent out, but his efforts definitely changed my opinion of him.

Wow, ummmm... don't really know what to say, this was incredibly nice of you and quite frankly, no you weren't a dick, I understand why you were angry. But I really do appreciate you understanding that I wasn't trying to rob you or be a crook, my life just got turned upside down for quite a while, I've finally been healthy again and I'm trying my best just to catch up and try to make right by everyone slowly but surely. I'm really glad you like the joystick, I hope you have a lot of fun playing games with it and thank you VERY MUCH once again, you didn't have to do this publicly like this, but I really do appreciate it very much, thank you.
