Dear
buttLER,
I wish
to give the grand PITB award to noTech
Byte (not
Perfect Byte, it's a diff shop) computer shop in Virra Mall, Greenhills.
Let
me tell you why...
Two
years ago, I bought a computer from noTech
Byte. I thought I made the right choice because
my computing went well for a few months...until when I decided to connect
to the internet. I went to Virra Mall, bought a modem, rushed home, fumbled
with the computer ports, turned my PC on...only to find out that my computer
couldn't detect the modem! I tried every possible means of finding out
where the problem lies.
After
a couple of weeks, I decided to call the shop where I bought my modem and
told them about the annoying problem. They advised me to bring my computer
and the modem to their shop. So I did just that. After fiddling with my
CPU and testing the modem for about half an hour, they told me that the
modem was in good condition and it's working quite well. So it's the port
that didn't work at all! So I brought my CPU to the nearby shop where I
bought my computer. I was told to come back next week because they had
to change the motherboard. (That means the communication port 2 wasn't
working at all) When i went back there, they said that they still had to
wait for the stocks.(!)
After
weeks of waiting, i finally got my computer back. From then on, my computing
was never quite the same again. Sure i was able to connect to the internet...but
not for long because my PC would just suddenly stop working and everything
was just frozen -- the keyboard, the mouse, the CPU. There'd be no way
out other than to reboot it. It would just hang, stop or reboot by itself.
After almost a month, I decided I can't live like that anymore. So there,
I found myself bringing the CPU back again to noTech Byte. Only to be told
that, they had no more stocks of Pentium 166. So i was forced to shell
out more than four thousand bucks to upgrade it to Pentium 200. That was
more than a year ago. And today I still can't use my computer normally.
Worse, the warranty has already expired. It's pretty tiring to go back
and forth and back again all the way to Greenhills from our place.
So
why do I think noTech Byte
deserves the Pain-in-the-Butt
award? Because
of their service! They make you feel that you're bothering them with the
problem that they had given you. They would make you wait for so long to
get your computer back only to find out that it's not quite fixed yet.
And when you go there,
chances are
you'd find other customers also complaining about the computers that were
sold to them. And they always have the same answer to your problem: no
more stocks.
Tips
to those planning to buy a PC: ask for the motherboard manual, check that
every port works. It would also be good to ask for feedbacks from former
customers of the shop where you're gonna buy your PC.
Whining,
duped customer

Hello
buttLER
I was
riding in a jeepney one day when two of the other passengers started to
have a loud conversation. One of them was raving about his grandma's panty
being already stinky and dirty while his companion was giggling to his
story. The boy was talking in a loud voice as if he was so proud to let
everyone know about his disrespectful manner. Even didn't seem to notice
the disgusted looks of his fellow passengers.
I believe
this boy deserves the PitB award.
