thread,

this is just too, too brutal for words. get ready to cringe.

[from february's PC WORLD magazine]

letter of the month:

"i'd appreciate any help you can give me in my effort to get toshiba to live up to its warranty obligation. my problem started in june 1998 with the disk drive in my toshiba laptop and desk station. since then, i've hauled it to a toshiba repair center and shipped it twice to a repair facility with no luck. i've asked toshiba for a replacement, but haven't gotten it."

pc world responds:

"i contacted toshiba on brown's behalf and asked the company to replace the part or the notebook, as the warranty recommends. a spokesperson told me toshiba would indeed replace brown's laptop. in fact, the company went one step further and replaced it with an upgraded model. a tecra 730 was sent to replace brown's tecra 720; unfortunately, the new unit brown received had a broken cd-rom drive, which toshiba said it will fix."
