    Hmm... hey, if you expend tons of time and energy trying to get a company that is notorious for its poor customer service to actually give you a refund for a CD that you've already gotten 20 years of use out of anyway and eventually succeed, do you think you could consider it a Pyrrhic victory?

    Just wondering...

    Barely. I mean, you have to take into account that when King Pyrrhus won his, he lost most of his troops, and would lose another engagement -- whereas this person would certainly still have it in him to go through it again if he wanted to. The whole point of a Pyrrhic victory is that, "...another such victory...and we are undone".
