dozysplot is an unknown quantity at this point
Jesus, I come back to the forum after a couple of days and what do I find †“

All these daggers protruding from my back †“

†œc**p computers bundled with a c**p ISPââ‚ ¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚
†œThe sort of people that buy their computers from Dixons deserve all they getââ‚ ¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚
†œAnywhere but not Dixons/Comet/PCWorldââ‚à ‚¬Ã‚
†œto the (spotty) kid behind the counterââ‚à ‚¬Ã‚
†œexpensive computer that is already obsolete and an extended warranty thats not worth the paper its written onâ₠¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚
Everyone hit the deck, dellwear is spitting his dummy all over the place.

Iâ₠™m the first to call the company I work for but this is going a bit far. All companies can sell crap stuff and good stuff and dixons is certainly no where near as bad as a lot of other big pc suppliers out there. Someone mentioned Emachines which I think are the best we offer just now, Their cheaper than a lot of other brands and Iâ₠™ve seen them to be very reliable, good build quality etc.

Dellwear says †œexpensive computer that is already obsoleteââ‚ ‚¬Ã‚Ã¢Ã ¢â€šÂ¬Ã‚¦. Anyone who goes and buys a computer from any shop across the land should accept that when they buy a computer it is out of date. The way the market is with new technology coming out all the time has made that the case for yearsÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šà ¬Ã‚Â¦

†œextended warranty thats not worth the paper its written onâ₠¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ †“ in short †“ Boll*cks. I know how to fix PCâ₠¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢s, so do a lot of people in this forum. An extended warranty/Service Agreement/whatever on a PC is not something we would buy because we donââ‚ ¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢t need it. However, I am not I Bike Mechanic. I wouldnÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šà ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢t know the first thing about changing the clutch on my Suzuki Bandit, nor would I try!!! In other words †“ Each to their own. For Mr Average in the Street who knowââ‚ ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢s how to turn his PC on and not much else the Idea of someone being there to Fix his PC no matter what goes wrong is a valid point. If my bike dealer had offered me a Service Agreement on the bike I would probably have took it. Also I did take out an extended warranty on my colour lazer printer and my digital camera for this very reason.
