All I can say is GOOD

 

[Nibbler]

Feel good about your pc, at Tiny!

 

[Ono]

My first ever PC was from Tiny.


Twas a DX2-50, 4 megs Ram. 15 inch monitor and a 1.3Gig HDD.


They did of course send me the wrong monitor first and then tried to fob me off with a used one cos they ran out of stock on the one I wanted. Nothing really changes does it?!

 

[Sar]

My first PC I ever bought was a P60, 4mbs ram, 420Mb hdd, and a Riva 128 Gfx card.

It 0wned :/

 

[caLLous]

486sx33 w/ 4mb ram... i was really annoyed at the time cuz my friend had a dx33... and i wanted a maths coprocessor

 

[PR.]

My first a Viglen P100 was nearly a P90 but they upgraded the spec just before I got it for meh birthday back in 1995.

a P100 with 8mb ram (latter upped to 16) a 1gb hdd, quad speed cd-rom and a sb16

Now 7years later its still going, soon to be retired to a linux test machine, its made up for its £1500 price ticket

 

[SoWat]

My first PC was a 386SX-20 from Tiny (when they were based in a little-lockup in Redhill).

Was smashing, and had that there new Windows 3.0 on it

 

[mr.Blacky]

hmmm me thinks me old my first pc didn't have a harddrive in it lol

 

[Summo]

Then it ain't no PC, there.

 

[~Lazarus~]

I ordered a 1500 pc from there about 3 months ago - still hasnt FUCKING arrived yet.

Probably cos it was someother bastard who used my visa number to order it - then got it sent to his own address.

What a twat

 

[old.Jas]

My first PC was a 386SX 16Mhz with a stupidly large 4mb of RAM and 40Mb HD. It was a bad boy with its 14" 256 colour monitor

As for Tiny, not surprised they have gone under. Fucking crap over-priced, under-supported home user products.

Anyone buying a PC from Tiny/Time/Dixons/PC World/other shite high street retailer needs their head looking at

 

[Ch3tan]

w00t now just wait for Time to go the same way, but that would put Leonard Nimoy out of work for a while.

Geez that sux m8, how much was it for?
/me burns credit cards

 

[eliminator]

If I had to choose one out of the two to be swallowed up it would have been time because their customer service is non-exsistant, oh and they make awful adverts too

 

[Sar]

Not as bad as PC World: STAMPING DOWN ON PRICES!!!1

I think their ads actually transgress ASA rules tbh, cos they're a bunch of fucking rip off merchants preying on the PC-illiterati.

 

[kanonfodda]

shareholder's meting:

Nothing pisses me off like the AOL adverts... getting angry thinking about them...

 

[inqy]

nah the poxy intel adverts are the worst.

dah-dah-dah-dah.

:/

 

[LTF]

But they have gimps in space suits

 

[Summo]

Fair point.

 

[inqy]

oh they were alright, especially the funky dancing ones.

but aliens playing with a paint program?

what I want to know is how it worked without any processor in? and how did it work by putting the processor in (what appears to be) the cd rom.

ahhh one day I'll understand the power of P4. dah-dah-dah-dah. :/

 

[luap]

A good friend of mine works for Tiny. He's the first to slag em off so don't think ill of him. May well lose his job though
