And NOW never will do business with them! Me, I wouldn't consider doing business with them either - I'd stick with a certain other brand.	Woof (2402)

240516	2004-06-01 05:04:00	Like you I am getting SPAMMED by Dell. But I get it twice. One copy addressed to me by name and another copy addressed to "The IT Manager". They have ignored my e-mailed requests to stop sending them. I sent another telling them in Impolite language exactly what I thought of them and their rubbishy computers. I wouldn't have one as a gift even if they offered it. Jack	JJJJJ (528)
240517	2004-06-01 06:07:00	My sentiments exactly ! When I decided to try to put a stop to it :- We got 7 on 14 April We got 3 on 4 May We got 3 on 31 May We got 2 on 1 June redirected from ST address to PO Box That's 15 in the last six weeks The use any name/title they can find from various sources including business directories and mailing lists . It STINKS ! I have no time for SPAM and I include unsolictited DELL brochures right at the top of my definitions of SPAM which include :- Real Estate 'flyers" (the actual agent is personally responsible for this violation of their code of conduct) UNsolicited direct mail Suburban Newspapers Advertising Newspapers (eg: Real Estate of Used Vehicles) NZ Post delivered mail to "The Box Holder" NZ Post delivered mail to "The Managing Director" without an address NZ Post delivered begging mail from Heart Foundation or Consumers Institute "Free Prize" offers from the likes of Readers Digest and National Geographic Basically ANYTHING UNsolicited and especially from those who are members of the NZ Direct Marlketing Association whose members are forbidden from contacting 'persons' on their register of "Opt OUTS" Oh, and by the way, in these definitions I include that which is delivered by e-mail, as well as snail mail. Is it any wonder we have e-mail SPAM when society has been so tolerant of snail-mail SPAM for generations ?! And when our society encourages it's children to deliver 'Junk Mail" to everyone's letterboxes ! DELL, obviously I have added you to my list of suppliers with whom I shall NOT do business; a list currently full of Real Estate brands (EXcluding one)	Woof (2402)
240518	2004-06-01 06:33:00	As a junk mail boy, please don't scream at me, I only do it for the money :( I'd like to say that, some like reading junk mails, some hate it . Some smile at me when I deliver the junkies, some look at me in disgust . Some, even, tell me that there is a 'No Circular' sign on their letterbox, even though I, with teenage eyes cannot see them . Their simply say, "It was there" Still, I've never seen one, few weeks down the track I'm still told . As bad as it could be, some even comment with a great grin, "oh! thank you very much! those junk mails I never read has saved me hundreds . . " Thousands even . On behalf of all junk mail kids (and young-at-heart) we dislike our job . We only do it for the sake that I can afford a new . . . blah blah . . . Please don't kick us around . If you hate us, stick a 'No Junk Mail' sign and we will not even touch your lawn . In this case with Dell, I can only suggest that you don't open those mail . Write return to sender, wrong receipient . Most of them will react after you do enough of them . Believe me, our household no longer get addressed junk like before . You need to right wrong receipient . Hopefully they'll delete you off the database .	~~~~~ s y ~~~~~ (2054)
240519	2004-06-01 12:13:00	I like those Dell brochures, if you use them to light your fire on a chill winter's evening they burn longer than ordinary newsprint and the ink produces nice coloured flames . I can say flames on PF1 can't I? Went to a seminar this morning on the latest APC server room products and they had Dell servers up there in lights along with Compaq, HP and a couple of other well respected names . Maybe they work better in the States?:| Cheers Billy 8-{)	Billy T (70)
240520	2004-06-01 18:24:00	The addressed ones are in plastic bags which you shouldn't be burning. It would be OK if all the junk mail was already compressed into a fire brick. Maybe in the States they don't aim cheap computers loaded with XP Home and minimal ram at businesses.	PaulD (232)
240521	2004-06-01 19:08:00	Yes and maybe at home they don't charge $99 to deliver them or charge extra to fit a floppy drive. Or supply software already installed without disks. And supply insufficient ram for them to run properly. Jack	JJJJJ (528)
240522	2004-06-01 21:45:00	Well said ~~~~~sy~~~~~ Don't worry, I can remember a few times feeling like a real heal as a cute kid cowers past my letterbox as I am caught glowering up the driveway My own advice to "kids" has always been that while you're earning money you're NOT spending it = double the value (and of course the exercise) But when I have actually seen and questioned an oldish asian lady why she stared at the signage and yet still deposited her junk mail into a letterbox clearly signed than I really do have to wonder about a 'system' that can allow junk mail to be delivered by those unable (or unwilling) to understand the local custom and LANGUAGE I think that so called junk mail (retail advertising, etc) serves a good capitalist function but check the legality of using my letterbox for anything other than NZ Post personally addressed deliveries ! As I said "Well said, ~~~~~sy~~~~~"	Woof (2402)
