- He's not the only one who CompUSA mislead: I ordered a IIVX w/CD-ROM, 8MG add'l
- RAM, PSI COMstation 5, and NEC Silentwriter 95 and an add'l two MB of RAM for the
- printer. The CPU I picked up on 12/10, and a 2 weeks later got the printer. Here's
- the bad news: The CPU was a 4/80 w/the add'l 8MB RAM and no CD, the printer
- memory was backordered and the modem was out of stock and had to be backordered.
- After being told by their corporate peeps that the modem was in the store 4 seperate
- times, they finally learned how to get it half right (their accounting folks put a
- payment hold on it although I had prepaid!). I still haven't received the printer RAM
- nor a VX w/the 300CD to replace the one they temporarily let me have. Projections
- on delivery: After the first week of January. All this after the account rep said that
- getting that configuration was no problem, they had it in stock.
-
- My advice to one and all - nuke 'em.
