Due to Smart & Friendly's total refusal to even respond to me, I have
started a boycott website. Please check out the site, especially if you are
considering a burner or have had a similar experience with Smart & Friendly.

I purchased an SAF Turbo Writer (internal) a few months ago, and have been very
satisfied with it's performance.  Which SAF model are you having trouble with?
It's possible that a few of us here in the newsgroup can give you a hand.  Oh,
and here's three words for <SB>:

Dick Luhn answer. ;-)

Think again.
When negotiating, always ask for more than you have.
The website was for show.
I tried contacting SAF through two channels, email and phone.
They ignored my pleas for help.
As for my situation, a new burner is being fedex'd to me ASAP.
Just goes to show you the power of the web. And don't bother responding, I
consider this thread complete. Closed minded losers like you are all too
common.

Well my friend, this looks a little silly.  You do not state the nature of
the problem you are having on you page.  You do not state how you  tried to
contact S&F's tech support you don't provide any details of substance.

Your demands are juvenile.  You demand that your drive is repaired, replaced
or that you be provided a refund.  Is your drive still in warranty?  This
might be a good little fact to discuss.  Are the other peoples drives still
under warranty since you demand theirs  be replaced also?  Do you even know?

And demanding an apology on the front page of S&F's web site is just stupid.
Who the fuck do you think  you are?  You have not even provided a convincing
story that you have been wronged.

Learn a little professionalism, learn at least how to cogently explain your
problem.

Frankly, based on the way you handled the web site I would guess that YOU
were at fault for the problems you encountered not S&F.

And one more Hunter, your list of demands required that S&F put an apology
on the front page of its web page.  This was one of your conditions to
taking down your page.  Since you are claiming victory I assume you got your
"public" apology.  Oh, wait a second I don't see it on their web page.

The simple fact of the matter is that you did not get anything that you
would not have gotten anyway and you probably could have gotten it all much
quicker without being an ass about it.

Good riddance.

It's impossible to be professional and curteous with someone who won't even
answer your emails or calls.
Get a clue.

Always ask for more than you want.
I got what I expected.
And since you seem to be blind, I'll say it once more, in all caps

I TRIED TO BE NICE, BUT THEY NEVER RESPONDED TO ME OVER A MONTH.
THIS IS WHAT WAS NEEDED TO MAKE THEM RESPOND, AND IT WORKED.
Now shut the hell up. I'm sick of your whining.

I got a Smart & Friendly Turbowriter RW for Christmas and had all kinds of
trouble getting it to work.  I called their tech support line and, after
waiting 10 minutes, I was told to leave my name and number and that I'd be
called back.  It took three days for them to get back to me, but when they
did, the tech support guy was professional, knowledgeable and patient.  I
got the CD writer working in about an hour.  It's even writing CD's at 6x!
I'm very happy with them.

Big deal, it's supposed to do just that.
