While I do believe it would(should??) be in Eyetech's best interest to help staticman out with at most a small fee, depending upon the repairability of the board, "the customer is always right" is the biggest load of crap ever introduced to the retail world. There is not a statement I loathe more because it is primarily only used when a customer is doing his darndest to rip off a company and not acknowledge his own fault in the situation.

More often than not, not only is the customer wrong, but the customer is trying to scam the company because they learned at McDonalds that if they scream loudly enough they'll get something for free.

Interestingly enough, a study was done a few years back (can't find a reference off hand) on the quality of retail customer service and salesmanship in the US as compared to a study done in the seventies.

The original findings were that customer service and salesmanship quality had dropped by HUGE amounts as compared to a couple decades ago. However, further research was done and it was eventually found, that Customer Service and Salesmanship quality in the US was actually greatly higher than it had been in the 70's, however the CUSTOMERS had become such downright awful, despicable people by and large, that it made it look like CS was really bad nearly everywhere you went because people were always unhappy because they didn't get a free yacht with their pop-tarts, and they felt they were "owed" somtheing.

Last time I heard someone yell "The customer is always right!" at me was when they'd thrown a glass bottle at their monitor, cracked the screen, and were pissed off that my company wouldn't give them a new one for free.
We weren't even the manufacturer of the monitor.

Same logic still applies.

sounds like you should have done your research before going out and buying that machine.

When I read the thread title I thought it was going to be about what OS4 users got up to in the bedroom, kinda disappointed now...
Life begins at 100 MIPS!


Nice Ports on AmiNet!

his views are a little extreme but you can't blame the guy...

He wants what he paid so dearly for... working drivers.

It it crazy to expect after you've plopped down your 3,000$+ that the company would follow through on their promises and deliver the working drivers after how long now?

How long have they been promising finished drivers? SMP?

I suppose they had no idea it would take these long to deliver this to their customers... bad move taking everyone's money and over promising on what you'd get AFTER your purchase of this uber expensive hardware.

I'd love a morphos machine someday.

Be sure to also support aros VOX...

They promise NOTHING but deliver so much!

Sorry for your bad experience with os4 and x1000.

I think you'll really enjoy morphOs, at at 1/10th the price!

I think Vox should switch to MOS as it's cheaper and more functional. If it were me i would tower a MacMini using the x1000 case (i forget the name of the company that makes them). I'm thinking about doing it myself.
Even my cat doesn\'t like me.

What fan are we ?  Amiga, right?   Have we not learned from our previous situations that there have been promises, unfulfilled, before?  I would never buy hardware with the "promise" of software.   You buy it as it sits.  If it has what you need, then great, if it doesnt, then thats something you should have expected.  I feel no pity for vox at all.
