175388 2003-09-15 09:17:00 They must have been just as bad at financial management as they were selling good computers. I worked for a company that purchased over 300 computers each month for 7 months at $3000 per machine. That is over 6 million dollar contract and that was only a year and a half ago. And with all the other sales they had you'd think they would be making money, not losing it.

Admittedly I returned nearly half the computers supplied to my branch due to faults, so I guess it comes as no real surprise to see them go under.

What sort of idiotic company would buy 300 computers @ $3000 each? With that volume, you would have thought a lower price could be negotiated. A you have the cheek to say the PCCo had bad financial management
