A long long time ago on July 6th 2005 I&#8217;ve [**posted a rant post**][1] about how I&#8217;m so pissed at [**Google**][2] after I had to pay $37.25 to get a &#8220;Free&#8221; Google T-Shirt I won because I wrote the [**Google Search API .NET Wrapper**][3].

Well, now after 8 months I finally got a refund.

It started as a strange Email I got from the [**GoogleStore**][4] saying something about my request being handled. I didn&#8217;t figure what this was and the Email didn&#8217;t have any special links in it.

I looked online in my credit card&#8217;s bill and I saw a refund of $37.25 from Google.

Although it&#8217;s a bit late I still would like to thank Google for hearing me out. Way to go! Keep up the good work!

Now I won&#8217;t be embarrassed (I was embarrassed before because I had to pay almost $40 for a geek T-Shirt) to roam the street of Tel Aviv with my very own Google Desktop Geek T-Shirt!

Thanks Google! (really)
