The idea being to put the machine under load to test the system . And making sure all hardware and software is correctly installed and set-up . And then threes the follow up, Making sure any issues are fixed as soon as possible, And that when a pc is returned to the customer it is in better shape then when it came in . Its called going the distance, Does Pc Company provide this? Its not down to buyer beware, that concept has been something that has been spread through the industry by companies such as the pc company and the large chainstores selling crap gear . It should be about personal service from techs/businesses owners who stand by their product and value their customers . uh,no offence Beetle,this isnt directed at you,im just ranting .	metla (154)
153498	2003-06-19 06:07:00	I don't think that Farmers would be selling those display machines to customers and even if they did they would be advertised as such, just like other "shop soiled" furniture and appliances are. People buying from Farmers would get a brand spanking new computer all nicely tucked up in an unopened box. They are the ones you need to examine to see what their device managers are like. ;-)	Susan B (19)
153499	2003-06-19 06:12:00	Farmers are quite happy to sell display gear to customers.Its not like those machines are going to be thrown out when stocks get low.	metla (154)
153500	2003-06-19 06:26:00	no offence Metla but in my case i would not or could forsee myself making my own computer from scratch as it were. i have enuf trouble understanding the one that i have without trying to peice one together.... and yes it should come back to old fashioned honest to goodness sales and techs who know the product who sell the product and not just a chain store bought computer but like me i didnt know the difference, till i was actually an owner of one and maybe i am lucky i have got a good PC comp puter. as my friends have since found out (not PC puters) to their horror they have bought a dud too..... after it blew up in their faces..... both different makes and models both bought from different towns and stores reputed to be honest good and reliable.... so im not sure any more i still feel luck has a lot to do with things in general. computers or life.... both are the same, both can be good or crap at times. and no we cannot always guarantee what the box may hold...... new or shop soiled, it is not always known till up and running. good luck to all, in the quest for the perfect computer because i do not think there is one...... we all fiddle too much with wot we dont understand, and then scream for help .... or fix and fix and fix till beyond recognition. no offense but we do do this and most of us are guilty of this with out admitting it too. we are wot we are. beetle	beetle (243)
153501	2003-06-19 06:48:00	> external modem which my mate reckons are terrible(hes > a mate not a technician tho :P) external modems are very good, they dont use CPU power to get the work done and so give you more power for other things. most computers come wiht "softmodems" which are dirven by the CPU and can use as much as 10% of your CPU power. and so to sum up "external modems rock!"	robsonde (120)
153502	2003-06-19 06:54:00	Ihave had a PC Company machine for over 3 yrs and have found their service and back up second to none. Any problems have been fixed to my satisfaction. Kirrie Kiwi.	kirrie kiwi (279)
153503	2003-06-19 07:01:00	I think it would be safe to say the majority of pc company customers are very satisfied with their purchase. And the number of horrer stories is a reflection on their customer base as well as there lack of quality control. ..............need more coffee,more prozac,less sleep....	metla (154)
153504	2003-06-19 07:06:00	dunno how modems got bought up in this thread but heres a good read wait,a quote first, So What's The Truth Behind This "Hogging"? However, with modern machines, Winmodems "hogging" the CPU are a thing of the past . While winmodem technology has advanced, the speed and power of processors is now far beyond, and that 2% CPU utilization will be barely noticeable . On 1ghz machines, that number could be so minimal it would be a nonissue . . epinions . com/content_1149542532" target="_blank">www . epinions . com	metla (154)
