>Have anyone tried Navada or Extreme Evolution ?

We bought a computer from Navada a while back, and it was fine.  Then
we bought a second computer from Navada, but this Navada was a Navada
franchise run by Infinite Data.  They did not give me the parts that I
asked for by brand and model (substituted el cheapo parts) and they
had the system back int here shop for half of the first three months.
They told me that they were the same as Navada (the sign hanging out
front) but when I tried to get my money back in the first week after
two trips back and forth to try and get them to fix the problems they
flat out refused.  They also kept giving me hard drives that crashed,
and when they put the operating system back on, they installed a virus
each time, which forced me to do a reformat/reinstall every time I got
it back!  Then, to top it all off, Navada in Osb Park start handling
the warranty, and make me pay for one of the parts I was supposed to
get in the FIRST place (used parts they had lying around, I might add)
in order to get the computer funcitoning!  I'll never buy from Navada
again, central or franchise.

I used to do all my business with Xtreme-Evolution after that.  It was
good at first, but then they started hiring staff that were not too
good.  Then, one of their staff starts using the disabled parking bay
out front as a loading zone.  When I ask him and the customer not to
do this, they ignore me, followed by this staff member coming up to me
and telling me that because I'm not in a wheelchair full time I'm not
disabled enough to use that bay anyway!  I've never set foot in one of
their stores (they have two now) again, and never will.
