Some time ago I made a big and expensive mistake - I purchased a desktop
computer from Ultinet Computers of Toronto.

I have just searched USENET through DejaNews for "Ultinet" - 9 of 10
postings tell terrifing stories of fooled Ultinet custumers. Unfortunatly
I did not do this research before buying a computer.

First they ripped me off - I recieved not exactly the same what I
ordered, but this is my fault, I should have checked this before picking
it up. Then, from the begining I constantly had problems with it - it
worked unstable and often crashed. I've been in their tech. services
several times, they changed some parts, but it did not help much. Last
time they kept it for 4 days as they said "for testing", then they said
that the problem was in bad memory chip and that they replaced it. The
same day I brought it home it crashed again and refuses to boot. I
suspect the matter is in a cheap low-quality motherbord from unknown
chinise manufacture. When I asked then to replaced it with some
brand-name one, they refused to do this for free and suggested that I
paid  for the new motherboard. Now they took it for "testing" again and I
am not sure that they'll fix it. I am wondering if anybody sued them in
the court and what should I do to make the same? I am going to call
"Better Business Bureau" or "Consumers Association of Canada". If you
have any advice or experience to share please e-mail me at
adaniline@comdale.com or danilin@interlog.com Regards, Alexei Danilin
