I must agree with grant- I do a lot of business with computer mania in worcester,and never had a problen with their service. So next time you want to deal with competent staff, drive through to the cw (worcester) branch.

Wow, here I am, wondering around the net for a DVD-Writer, and I stumble upon this!

I really think that this has been taken out of proportion at this point. I have bought many things at Computer Mania (particularly the CW branch) and have not had many issues.

Having read the blog, seeing how angry you guys have become, leads me to believe that the company is well and truly full of crap!

Thankfully I, being an adult, realize that things can and probably will go wrong. Doing childish things (such as mocking their spelling) and doing so in a way that a high school student would, is just stupid.

I fully expect that this not be published on your ‘blog’, and I hope that you do not teach your children to follow your example.

P.S. I really hope that you rant and rave about this one, as there is nothing you can do about it!
Nice to be the bad guy, isn’t it?

No problem! If you check out Rian’s and Jonathon’s blogs you also come across a lot of info on how evil the whole saga seemed to be!!!

I have been searching the web for a dvd repair machine to buy in south africa and the only one I could find is available at Computer mania. Cautious shopper that I am, I searched the web about the place first and came across this page and I have to say……THANK YOU!!! I almost made a trip from mpumalanga to cape town to purchase the device but after reading this, I am not putting my feet (or my money) near computer mania. Thanks again for the info.

Hee hee I KNOW! I would not be happy if my Computer Mania rep had difficulties with his phone. I honestly thought it was one of your friends it was so poorly written and off the point. (he never actually addresses what happened, just says he hates being called and idiot, when the only person who called him an idiot in this post was himself.)

Maybe if your really lucky Rian he will leave one on your blog. But truthfully he probably knows you will respond without worrying about his feelings and just give it to him.

[...] The Computer Mania saga has not ended yet. Both Sherrie and Jonathan received crazy comments on their blogs. The commenter admits to working for Computer Mania and does a horrible job of grasping the english language. Seriously, if you are going to retaliate, please do so with spell check. I’m not going to take you seriously if you mis-spell every second word. And thats something coming from me. Go check em both out: Jonathan and sherrie. [...]

Oh, one more thing… With all that product knowledge you’d think he’d know how to use his phone.

Oh Sherrie, I never got one of these fun posts in my blog.

Hello Charl. I thought no more correspondence was to be entered into by Computer Mania.

If its not Charl, someone forgot to inform you that Computer Mania was not to get involved in this anymore.

But then again, when have Computer Mania done anything without causing a shit storm?

Its my laptop we are referring to and I got the most amazing customer service from Project 3 in Claremont. My laptop “just works” (TM) and I feel vindicated – Project 3 proved that in order to sell a laptop, a company doesn’t have to be an ass…or incompetent….traits I was believing went hand in hand with computering selling.

Hi Sherrie…

Wow, this is awesome. I got one this morning too… my one is hilariously trying to pretend he doesn’t actually work at the store but carries on about how good their product knowledge and service are… It had me rolling with laughter.

I think yours is written by the *dum dum dum* regional manager.

I approved the comment on my blog because I think everyone should see how feeble the attempt at appearing neutral is. Also, the english is worth a laugh.
