- Well, for those of you following this saga and as promised,
- here is Chapter 11 ;-)
-
- The much discussed, long awaited ZEOS system arrived TODAY! At this
- time, I do not care to rehash the major fiasco(s) of the last week.
- If you really want the gory details, email me privately and I will
- consider composing the GD's.
-
- I was a bit miffed that Customer Service has repeatedly told me that
- my system would be arriving *complete* and that every item ordered
- would be included. Well that was lie number 47. I did discover later
- that Customer Service at ZEOs is the *last* dept. to find out just
- about anything regarding an order.
-
- The Intel 400 SatisFAXtion internal modem is backordered and ZEOs
- has substituted the VESA video board for a DIAMOND 24X card. I
- have been playing phone tag with Tech Support all day. In
- one message, the tech guy said that they would try and get the
- VESA card out so that I could use both for a while and decide which
- video board that I wanted to keep.
-
- I welcome any comments regarding the Diamond24X vs. VESA...
-
- I haven't been able to get back with him. I get the idea that a
- lot of Tech reps at ZEOS feel that the Diamond 24X is *better*
- than their own VESA option.
-
- Tech Support has agreed however, to extend my 30 day evaluation warranty
- that comes standard with each new system. They are faxxing documents
- that effectively postpone the 30 day window until I have received
- both the modem and and VESA board. I think this is only fair and
- I am pleased that they have chosen to do this. I don't think I
- could have completely evaluated the "system" without all the pieces
- running as a unit.
-
- Finally, I haven't powered up the system yet. I just got it from
- FedEX and took it home and did a quick inventory, before I went into
- work this morning. This weekend should be fun. Please reply via
- Email if you have any questions regarding this system.
