Colleague comes to me yesterday for advice about a new laptop .

I ask her what she wants to spend . She says around $2k, which is cool .

She's thinking about a Mac . I get a pained look on my face :p

I tell her her to get anything other than Acer, and that I have a preference for Asus . On her budget, she should be able to get a nice Vista machine . Tell her to check out Dick Smith for some sweet deals .

So this morning, she comes up to me with a big smile, and tells me she went to Hardly Normal, where the nice young man sold her an ACER!!!!!:yuck:

NOOOOOOOO!!!!! :groan:

And then, because he was such a nice young man, he sold her a copy of NAV 2008!!!!

NOOOOOOOO!!!!! :groan:

Turns out she got confused, and thought Acer were the business, and Asus were piles of poo

:crying

If it is of any help, the Consumers Guarantee Act says, I think, that you have a certain period of time that you may return the purchase if it is not want you want. You can't change it if it is not the right size or colour but you can if it does not do what you are told it is capable of. An idea, perhaps?

684071 2008-06-30 22:57:00 Can you retrospectively rename threads?

There may be a chance we can camouflage this enough so that VS doesn't see. Or should I start looking for my riot gear?

684074 2008-06-30 23:24:00 I don't know why people keep putting down Acer???

I have two Acer laptops here and my parents each have an Acer as well :thumbs:

Never had a problem with any of them .
My dad's one is about 6 years old now and still goes like a trooper .

One of mine went around the world with me in my backpack and hasn't missed a beat .

Will they bust out the regional menu, and do the McWombat?

2 wombatties (wombat patties don't ya know?) nestled between sesame seed buns, a couple of tobacco leaves, and a few slices of Mapua mudflats seaweed!!
