| 240901 | 2004-06-01 12:41:00 | I have to agree with metla. That guy is a joke! By the look of the letter he's trying to stick it to the unsuspecting PC public again. I have fixed enough PC company PC's to know that they were just junk 5¼ inch HDD's ?:| |

| 240902 | 2004-06-01 13:17:00 | > these lines since the companies demise... anybody > heard of "Pegasus Electronics" in Hamilton? strange..... Pegasus Electronics was a company that sold computers about 8 years ago and then was "brought out by" or "somehow became" the PC company..... |

| 240903 | 2004-06-01 21:34:00 | I'd like to know how he managed to buy the remaining PC Co stock from the receivers (probably at a cheap rate) and then resell it to the public. Surely if he had money to do that he should have been paying creditors first (if he is as honourable as he makes out in his email). Certainly he should have been banned, there is no accountability for his poor company management, he just starts up again under a new name and all the poor people who were screwed by him dip out. That is just WRONG!! BTW my parents bought a PC Co computer about 2-3 years ago andthe setup was a shambles. The floppy wasn't operating (they hadn't set the BIOS up properly) and the system was running like a pig. After some BIOS and Windows optimisation it was up to speed, but really it shouldn't have left the store in that condition. I don't know who they had assembling but trained monkeys could have put the system together better. |

| 240906 | 2004-06-02 04:46:00 | Haha . . what a joke in the email it said . . . By signing up to The PC Company Club, you would get: . . . # A complimentary copy of a book I intend to write (and need to) . This is not yet set in stone! After 28 years I would love to share some of the successes and failures . It’s very tough being in business and any information I can give to entrepreneurs would be great, as well as telling some of The PC Company story . Wonder if the book will be named "How to make everyone pay for your own mistakes" |

| 240907 | 2004-06-02 04:59:00 | Indeed, I found the entire "email" quite...um...I suppose repugnant maybe the word. And I wonder who these Computer retailers are he speaks of, I fail to see why any company would throw in their lot with him, how is he needed? What could he possibly bring to the table. |

| 240908 | 2004-06-02 06:46:00 | I can't believe that anyone would still buy a PC off that man! They must be cheap? |

| 240910 | 2004-06-03 05:08:00 | It is something that I myself am guilty of, bitching about PC Company machines etc, however realistically there isn't much to whinge about. The company sold thousands of PC's, possibly 100's of thousands. In a market saturated with a particular brand, there are inevitably going to be failures - the scientific law of s*%t happening. If 60% of NZ drove Toyota cars, there'd obviously be a seemingly higher incidence of failure, purely because so many people own them. Those of us involved in IT work of course, only see the broken or faulty machines - we don't see the ones that soldier on tirelessly. Even those on the forum here would see that - people aren't going to call ISP helpdesks, take machines into "technicians", or post here to say "Hey, my PC's working great" My parents, and grandparents both have PC Co machines that have never skipped a beat, and are over 5 years old - still going strong. The machines were never designed as powerhouses, they can still surf the net, FW: poor quality joke e-mails, and type documents. That is all that the majority of users need and want them to do. We even have multiple PC Co machines employed at my workplace as workstations, and they perform their function fine. I no way am I loyal to PC Co or any reason, but a bit of logic can apply in this case. The quality of management etc is something else. |
