Title: Another minor rant
Post by: swift240 on April 09, 2004, 07:22:13 PM
For the past 2 weeks I have been waaiting for Eyetech to deliver a Z4 TOwer case to me only to find there is a 2 week delivery delay because there Z4 Tower systems are now off base, Hmmm well (pissed off) I wait and wait, so I send of to Power Computing for a A1200 Tower keyboard Interface only to be told they are waiting a week for them to come in and it will be after Easter holliday before they get them (more pissed off). So I shall wait some more
(more and more pissed off) I live in the hope that one day (SOON) I will get my Z4 Tower and A1200 universal keyboard adapter, THEN I can put in my A1200, Mediator SX 1200 PCI board, Voodoo 4, PCI 128, Ethernet card, TV card, Apolo Turbo Mk-II 030 at 40Mhz with 32meg fastram.
Until then I shall wait and wait.
Have you ever had this happen (totaly pissed off now)

Mike........

Amiga retailers are always slow to deliver, because they can't buy in big stocks in case they don't sell what they have. Things get worse for rarer items like the Z4 and even worst still in Easter or at Christmas...

But think yourself lucky, I waited six months for my BPPC accelerator years ago. And when it arrived it was defective and I had to wait ages for another one! I waited even longer for the BVision, almost a year - and the price was hiked shortly before delivery. :pissed:

(But both are still working, and have been worth every penny.)
