Advantages: At first they seem great
Disadvantages: after a day they are bollox
Knowing nothing about PC's I went to a Tiny Store in York I bought a Tiny computer (about three years ago) It was about seventeen hundred pounds, with a scanner, printer digital camera, and a hundred pounds worth of software, so they said anyway.
The salesperson tried all the techniques, flirting, joking, and generally quite obvoius. She told me I'd get all the software I need for my collage work, I didn't even tell her what course I did so how did she know it would be suitable. I asked her if there was any software to make music with, she said
"yeh I'll Show you"
she showed me a folder full of wav files(music files), she played one, I remember it was Jimi Hendrix Cross Town Traffic. She also said that with this program? i could sample from CD's and make Hip Hop beats( I think she guessed I was into Hip Hop by my baggy jeans etc). Wow I thought. After a bunch of lies I handed over the cash and went home to sunny Scarborough.
I waited and waited and waited, three weeks later it arrived. I set it up no problem, and started it up, all was well. Nice introduction, no need to install drivers etc what more could I ask. Now It was time for me to become a 'Supa Fly DJ' I put in the CD Sampler, which was A CD?. It loaded up and presented me with a list of Demo games to play, no sign of any music program. The Salesperson had outright lied to my face and complete made it up to suit my needs. Also there was no Word or Excell which I needed for my collage work another lie!!! After a few days i kept getting that Blue screen and the sound would go into a one second loop, ever since it has crashed constantly, I can't go onto the internet without it freezing.
My only fault was not ringing up about it, because now its out of warranty theres nothing i can do.
Tiny will lie and decieve to sell you there products, do yourself a favour and go to an inderpendant computer shop and
get them to put a decent computer together for a decent price. Hoo Haaa

- 02/05/02 And a tiny effort on your op. There is an onus on you as a consumer to ask things like 'What software packages come with this machine?' or 'Can you demonstrate how this program is used to create music?' and then, when it's time to pay, check the contract (for that's what it is) you are signing, asking where it mentions all of the things you wanted. The only thing Tiny have fallen short on in your case is bad service. The lack of software and capability is your own fault. Incidentally, why didn't you tell the sales assistant what course you were doing? Surely that would have helped? |
