Thread Name: Tech: Which Computer?
Subject: RE: Tech: Which Computer?
PC World, hmm. When my cathode ray monitor packed up I bought a LCD monitor from the big PC World store we have in Harlow. At the same time I bought a new video card I was told would be necessary to make it work.

A few months ago the PC started playing up - this time, since it was out of warranty, I took it to a small shopfront workshop run by somene who used to work at PC world, and sold me the PC I bought there a few years back. After seeing how it was going wrong and having a look around inside he just removed that video card - and the PC and the monitor started working perfectly once more and have continued to do so.

When I need to buy a new PC I think I'll go back to this bloke. Even if I have to pay a little bit more than I would at PC World, I think it'll be worth it to have someone who knows his stuff, and doesn't need to rely on jargon to mask his ignorance.
