I get your sarcasm. I missed the gotta pay to try, I thought I was signing up for a trial or a beta. My complaint isn't that they have a password rule, it's that my password met the requirements but they obviously are looking for something

I was an kid pre-NES, and got an old system at a yard sale for my kids. I quickly learned that I could reseat it 20 times, clean it with alcohol, pencil eraser, whatever sane tactic, none of them worked as often as blowing into the cartridg
