Computer Saga Continued

I called the customer service people about the computer they sent me that does not work. The lady was very apologetic for both the missing monitor and the malfunctioning computer. Made it very nice, I didn't have to get all grumpy or anything.
I need to find a way to the UPS place and ship it off next. That will cost me about $20 which is okay I guess. Rather not pay it but what else can I do?
Once they get the computer back they will, according to the young lady, send me another computer AND the missing monitor. So, all should be well, I hope!
I am not fond of dealing with customer support people, especially over the phone or in person. Email is better as I can be as mean as I want to be LOL
Will update on this mess when it is all solved.

Accident?

I took a leap of faith when I bought the new computer for Shelly. It said it came with a monitor but they did not answer my email in time so I had to take a chance.
The next day I got an email from someone in their Customer Service Department:

Hello, thank you for your interest in our products. Yes, it does come with the 15" monitor. I even double checked on the auction itself and confirmed that it does.

I have saved the email and everything else that I could, just in case. PayPal offered Buyers Protection on this item which is why I took the leap of faith to begin with.

This afternoon I went to look at the item from my Ebay page and they have re-listed the computer, without a monitor.

Interesting! Wonder if they realized that someone messed up with the first listing? perhaps they should be happy that of the five they listed they only sold one. I anxiously await this package :)

For My Girls

Finally found another bargain on Ebay so that I could get my wife (and I'm sure my daughter) her own computer. She still refuses to use this one. Here is what I got her:

Now the description says it comes with a 15 inch monitor so I hope that is true! Computer is no good without a monitor LOL
It ships from Arizona so it shouldn't take that long to get here. Depends on whether or not UPS can find my house this time.
It should make my wife happy. Once I set up a few things on it like the wireless system it should be good to go and hers :)

Hooray!

Just finished buying a new desktop :) Okay, so it is not brand spanking new, it is refurbished. But, hey, it was $120 and shipping was free!




Here is what it has:
Intel Pentium 4 - 3.2 GHZ Processor
1 GB (1024 MB) RAM Memory
40 GB Hard Drive
10/100 High Speed Internet/Network Port
High Speed DVD-ROM
and the usual ports and whatnot that come with a computer.
Basically this is the same system of the HP computer that died on me so I am happy with that. I am very happy with the price!
It should be here I figure in about a week. It's shipped from Kentucky by UPS Ground so I'm fairly certain my time frame is correct.

In the meantime, I still have to use this laptop which is kind of slow but still better than nothing. Last night, after fiddling around awhile, I did manage to get the LAN to work on the laptop so the DSL speed is twice what wireless is so that will help too.
I am very happy and excited!!
