| 1238747 | 2011-10-20 06:23:00 | Well I've gone and done it, despite all the barriers that Dick Smith put in my way. I wanted to pay by credit card, but when I clicked "proceed to payment" it eventually came back sayng it had a problem processing my payment, and to re-enter my card details - except it never gave me the chance to enter them in the first place. :( So I tried direct deposit, and it gives all the bank details, but presents the bank account number in a very confusing format (OK for Oz, I suspect). So I go to my bank to do the payment, and it won't accept the given company name "DSE (NZ) Ltd" - can't have "()" (also probably OK in Oz). So if the goods actually arrive I will be highly surprised. |

| 1238748 | 2011-10-20 07:49:00 | Hi Guys There is an old adage that states - if something is too good to be true, it is. Classic case in point. Don't blame old Dick trying to unload these things. I wouldn't touch one of these again even if Dick Smith gave it to me and then paid me $99.00. Had nothing but hassles with mine. Damn thing got the Dreaded Seagate Click, Click Of Death - a common problem with these things. It finally crapped out. Beware if you buy one, don't depend on it for back-ups or valuable files. Better still don't buy it!! If you doubt what I'm saying do a Google search. The internet is full of stories of these things failing. Hope this saves you some heartache. BURNZEE |
