It's Ok for those of you that know their way around the guts of a computer.....and can build what they want......but I can't so I buy........and although you may have had problems with those two retailers......I have had two computers and they have both been fine.......must admit haven't had to use the help lines......so those are my experiences with computer buying.

Hahaha - you hit the nail on the head there. The next delivery date that is being bandied around for the bloody things is Xmas Eve. If this happens I will NOT be a happy bunny.
And Mummiboo, I sympathise with you. I too must have ruined Xmas for half of Accringtons children and of course its my fault too that they cannot order or place deposits. Its probably my fault that I can't defy the laws of physics and produce the stock out of thin air as well.

This is why I start early with my Christmas shopping.

I have finally been able to convince my wife that its not necessarily the best policy this close to Christmas to shop around to find the best price for something, after following her advice on previous years to do this, only to find that the original shop had the best price and were sold out by the time we got back. Then a return to the other shop to find that they, too had sold out

A lot of our stuff though has come from Play.com, streetsonline and Amazon. Oh, and ebay!

We have bought a lot more online than on previous years, mainly because we haven't left it to the last minute
