Here here Steve, I personally don't see why we should expect things for free just because we are blind. It was as you say fair of them to do it half price. Not what they were required to do and certainly more than a lot of stores would do. Credit for them rather than criticism.

Hi Eleanor,

I wouldn't agree with Ibrahim here.  They charged Mark half the normal
price, which is more than fair. Legally, they didn't have to do that. Give 
him some reduction because he can't do it due to disability, but why does
everything have to be free, just because one is blind?
I think Mark that sounds excellent, and I would go to them based on what you 
said.

All the best

Steve

I'd be inclined to agree with you Ibrahim only they are a business and not a 

charity and it is a job that the public at large do request.

Paddy,

I have had two machines from pc world, the latest being just last week.
I received excellent customer service and the sales people knew about the 
products.  Anything I asked the chap didn't know he went off and found
out
about.

I asked for the first run of windows to be done and various settings to
be
made to the new vista eco pc I bought, and they did it for half price as
I
wanted the work done tue to my disability, not just for the sake of it.
I
thought that was very good of them. It was indeed set as I had asked for 
when it arrived.

Both machines I have had from the same store at Brighton, and I would
recommend them to anyone on the basis of the service I have had.

Hth.

If it came down to cost I'd repair it myself.

I'm only interested because it's much closer and less awkward in getting
a
box with a broke machien to the post office.

Hi paddy
I have heard, and friends have had, bad reports of after sales service at 


PC
world. They try and fob you off and quality of repairs isn't good. Staff
aren't always knowledgeable about the products they sell. Just a warning.

 Hey folks.

 I'm looking at getting a Desktop for the house.  I'm buying from PC
World
because I couldn't build a machine of some of their specs for the price.
I
generally don't buy components from them but they're PCs are at quite a
nice
price for what you're getting.

 Plus for me if something did go wrong in the warranty period I can take
a
5 minute taxi to drop it in the store.  I bought a machine 2 and a bit
years
ago from an online store

 http://www.cube247.co.uk

 Pain in the bum, components kept failing and each time I had to wait up
to
a month to get the machine back from England.  having paid for carriage
to
the company in the first place.

 Anyho, I've been looking at the Packard Bell Iextreme 9610.
I'll be using this machine for server related tasks and installing Win 7 when it's out of Beta. I will probably throw another 4gig into it when I 
put Win 7 on it.

 Anyone know of a better spec machine from PC World for the same or
similar
price?

 Here's a link to view the machines spec and I'll be buying it without
the
monitor or added extra software.
