I have heard several horror stories from people regarding Ultinet computers - all AFTER I purchased one from the company. I was terrified..... However, I must say this - I've never had one bit of trouble receiving prompt service from the outfit. The CD-ROM in my system crapped out about a week after I bought the system - I took it out of the case, brought it to them and they handed me a replacement - no questions asked. I left my machine on during a thunderstorm, and cooked a memory chip - took it in for service and had the system back in three days. I must also say that when I received the system, the set-up of software and drivers was totally screwed - but this was really a minor inconvenience - I wiped the HD,and re-installed everything. The system worked fine after that. I also noticed that the majority of people in line at the service desk (and there were many of them) didn't seem to have a clue about their systems, or computers in general. I don't think Ultinet should be crapped on because users can't figure out the correct sound card setting for 'Redneck Rampage', claim the system is crap, and bring it in and scream at the (overworked, undereducated) repair tech. I'm sure I'm going to draw a lot of flak for this post, but all I can say is 'caveat emptor'! Jim. P.S. That's 'buyer beware' for those of you not up on your latin.
