[net.micro.pc] Mail order

I am posting this account of my experiences in order to save someone
a lot of trouble (by not dealing with this company).

Two months ago, I ordered a 33 meg disk drive for my PC from PC's Limited,
a mail order house in Austin, Texas. The drive arrived a week later. The
problems with the drive were:

	1) It was dead on arrival.
	2) The documentation was terrible.
	3) There were programs on the supplied floppy with no
	   explanation of what they were for.

I called up PC's Limited, got an RMA #, and returned the junk by
registered mail. 1 week later I got another one. This one was also
dead on arrival (I carefully followed their lack of instructions
in installing it, having to do a lot of guessing). I called up
PC's Limited again (they won't talk to you on their toll-free number,
you must call their toll number), got another RMA # and send that
junk back too. That was some weeks ago. I have not heard from them
since. They do not return my phone calls. The clincher was that
I was charged for BOTH disk drives! I am now out nearly
$3000 and have nothing to show for it. I am currently pursuing other
avenues to try and get my money back.
