- I just want to tell a little story.
-
- About atwo months ago, I ordered a Zeos 386/25 Freestyle notebook with all the
- nice trimmings. This company has been nothing but evasive and unhelpful.
- After trying to get a confirmed shipping date from these clown for months, and
- being put off for "just a few more weeks.... 5 or 6" I finally just got fed up
- and cancelled my order. Low and behold, when I called their computer was down
- and they couldn't even CANCEL. So they call me back in 2 hours and say that
- they can't cancel because my order shipped "this morning!" (What a
- coincidence, huh? RIGHT.)
-
- I have decided to refuse their order when it arrives. Reason? Well, other
- than stubborn principle, can you imagine what it's going to be like trying to
- get them to get off their asses and SERVICE it for free? They don't even move
- with a $2,700 check waving in their faces. Besides, I've heard rumours that
- they're in bad financial shape (big surprise).
