Hi, Guess I'll add my little story to this list. I too bought a Zeos Pantera, a 90-MHz Pentium. When it arrived, I found that some of the manuals were missing and the case was cracked. I called Zeos, and everybody there seems quite helpful. But it took me MONTHS to get the replacement for the cracked front panel. I called several times during this period, and nothing ever happened until I sent a furious letter to Zeos by means of simultaneouly mailing a letter to their head of custormer service and posting the same letter to the Zeos help forum in Compuserve and another on-line service. Oddly enough, this caused my part to be shipped immediately. I found it completely unacceptable that a "well-respected" company could take my $3000 and then completely ignore me and my repeated phone calls and FAXes for weeks. --George *********************************************************************** * George Yefchak Hewlett-Packard Laboratories * * Internet: yefchak@hpl.hp.com P.O.Box 10350 * * CompuServe: 73607,1625 Palo Alto, CA 94303-0867 * * NOT SPEAKING FOR HP Voice: 415-857-4793 FAX: 2-8502 * * HP employees try: http://bacchus.hpl.hp.com/~yefchak/gy_home.html * ***********************************************************************
