Well that Fail will be a Win when someone (with a bigger Fail) buys it from him for that price...

512Mb Nvidia Gefroce 8500GT
22" Samsung LCD
Wireless K&M
6USB (4 back and 2 front)
DVD Writer
Creative surround sound and sub
PC camera

Price..... R7000 neg.

I did not alter the specs. It's as he wrote it.

7K for that you can build an I5 rig for that price. Tell him to ask R2000 for it

Fail to the guy who sat next to me on the plane and talked non stop when all I wanted to do was listen to music and/or sleep. Must admit to having a better understanding of Matlab and antennae on military aircraft though - that bit was interesting.

Shame, I feel for you. That is why driving is sometimes better, but hardly ever

Not to CT - way too long even for me. And I love flying - I just don't know why he didn't talk to the guy in the other seat. People always talk to me - I must have that sort of face

And the N1 is a <insert variable> road, roadworks, potholes and it is only has one lane!!!!!

Ah not on the bit I was driving on

Which bit was that?

The bit in CT

Obviously that is nice, but the piece going through the Karoo is terrible

I am sure it is

Therein lies the answer to your question.

iRon has tatooed your post count on your forehead.

Nope - that is not where he put his mark.

But seriously - who talks to a female about antennas and maths programming languages? Do I really look that much like a Geek? On second thoughts mousey - don't answer that.

Ah SAA gets a fail for assuming Vegetarians like hot Asian stew as a snack. I would much rather have had a packet of nuts. My tongue burnt for the rest of the flight.

I nominate the dude who predicted that the world would end yesterday for an Epic Fail.

One of my friends on facebook for, clicking on the link I sent him which is the same one that is in synth's sig. And now he is going mad

lol. where is this link? post it here? i would like to click it

It is in synth's sig
Here is the link if you really want to.

I feel the need to nominate Kalahari.net for a fail.

Our secretary ordered herself a netbook. It seemed very well priced when she asked me, so I told her to go ahead. Shortly after she finalised the order, she received an email from Kalahari telling her that the machine wasd in fact wrongly priced on their website. It was actually a lower model that should have been priced at what she paid. Nevertheless, Kalahari promised to honour her purchase and send her the bigger model.

Anyway, they emailed her to tell her this and told her to "send back" the one she had received. Thing is, it was part of a bigger order, which included an international item or two, so she hadn't received the thing yet. I replied on her behalf and asked them to please arrange to swap out the laptop before sending it since they still had it.

The order was placed about six weeks ago. The international order took that long to get here. Kalahari delivered today and guess what? Yep, they sent the wrong laptop. They had six weeks to sort the thing out and still got it wrong.

Oh that is a fail.... seconded.

well i won't be buying from them then

A win for Samsung SA and 123CRT.

My previous desktop LCD was making teh funnies- taking 30min or so to switch on after the pc had booted to the desktop. SO while I got a new one, the old one was sent for repairs under warranty.

So 123CRT did the repairs and all is well in again. Then on Thursday I got a call from Samsung asking for feedback about the repair and if I was happy with the repair. As I had not tested the monitor I asked them to call me again today after I had the screen at a LAN this weekend. So they did call back, I'm very happy with the whole process

So far Samsung is the only company who has actually called me back after I asked them to. Haven't had this level of service from anyone else in a long while.

PS: Standard Bank should take a page out their customer service book.

Ja, 123CRT are great. Had an LG TV repaired there the other day and it came back good as new. Sadly, it was already out of warranty. I have, however, had a Samsung LCD fixed there in the past, and they did it under warranty even though I had no invoice. Because it was still within three years of manufacture according to the sticker on the back, they repaired it with no hassle at all.

Syko... that goes for every single bank in SA. None of them are customer centered.
