Weekly update about CSPPC at DCE

[Lemmink]

AFAIK DCE isn`t doing any business for Amiga anymore. If there are any PPC-cards repaired it is only done out of a feelig of obligation in the freetime.
I guess the only reason why they don`t say "get lost" straight away, is that they are in fact the only one who could repair those cards.

When my first CSPPC died I was quite frustrated but I neved had the idea of sending it in for repair and that was 2 years ago.

I though everyone was aware of the fact that the chances of getting your card fixed in a reasonable time (< 1 year) if you don`t show up at DCE in person are slim at best.

I heard quite often that whoever visits DCE to have it`s card fixed walked out of the door a few hours later with the job done.

I can see why you all are so angry and upset, but I can follow you when you talk abot legal actions ? What's the point ? Where is the difference between a card you will never see again (or at least for a very long time) and a card tha is right in front of you but dead ?
DCE isn't exactly swimming in money and those repares are only done when they have a little sparetime and even then it will only one person takeing a look at say one or two cards. I have a dead 060/200 myselfe. I would never dream of sending it in for repair, as I wouldn't expect to see it back before 1 year, if ever.

The point is some of us bought NEW cards and they never worked at all. They were sent in for warrenty repairs and just kept. DCE said they would build new cards for those of us that had a warrenty claim and it would take four weeks.

Well that is another story. I though you were all upset about the repair of some old cards takeing a hell of a long time.
