Re: [aclug-L] Black Lab Micro

[Jonathan Hall <jonhall@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've dealt with Black Lab Micro as well--bought an AMD K6-266 from them a
few months ago.  My experience with them was not bad, but I've only dealt
with them once... I may have been lucky.

I would like to warn everyone to stay away from Accubyte, though!  I'm
still fighting with them and my credit card company to get my money back
on a disfunctional AMD K6-233 I bought from them.  They shipped me a bad
CPU, I returned it.. they inisted that it worked correctly after they
tested it, but said they would send me a new one anyway.  I got the "new"
one--it did the exact same thing, thus forcing me to believe they sent me
the same bad CPU.  When I called them about that they said my warranty
period was over, so they couldn't do anything about it.

So... I'm now fighting with my credit card company about getting the money
back.  My bank and CC company seem to agree with me, so things are still
hopeful... but who knows what will actually happen.
