OK let me explain why I hate ACER and why this page is even here. December 20, 1996: Bought the computer from Best Buy®. December 22, 1996: Took the computer out of the box and got everything hooked up. October 7, 1997: Reminders to renew my Warrenty start comeing up Daily. October 12, 1997: Reminders stop comeing up and CD-ROM fails completely. 5:30 P.M. that day: Call up ACER's 1-800 support number, the person who answers the call sounds very forien and says his name is Mohamad. He keeps me on the phone for 2 1/2 hours messing with my system. He tells me to call back tomarrow to get some additional support. October 13, 1997: I call back up and Habib answers...he sounds even more forein than Mohamad. He tells me to send in the CD-ROM back to ACER. October 15, 1997: I send the CD-ROM to ACER. December 27, 1997: After more than a month I still haven't gotten back the CD-ROM. I call up the Teck Support 1-800 number again and complain. They reply that there is a CD-ROM shortage and their supplier would have them in shortly. Febuary 3, 1998: The CD-ROM still isn't in, I call up ACER again. They say that it'll be in shortly. Febuary 18, 1998: The CD-ROM comes in the mail. I install it and try it out...it doesn't work. I call up ACER yet again, they tell me that my Warrenty has expired and i'll have to call the 1-900 number instead, I tell them that this problem accored before my Warrenty was expired and argued with him for a while. He attempts to guide me through formating my hard drive. I argue with him again that formatting the hard drive wont help the CD-ROM work any better. He tells me to call back tomarrow. Febuary 19, 1998: I try calling but get nothing but elevator music. Febuary 20, 1998: I call again and get nothing but elevator music. Febuary 21, 1998: Yet again I call and get elevator music. April 18, 1998: Got fed up with not being able to use any of my CD-ROM's and called Acer up. They tell me that I have a defective CD-ROM and tell me to send it in yet agiain. May 2, 1998: I got a phone call from Acer asking why I sent the CD-ROM U.S. Mail instead of UPS. The lady on the other end starts wineing like a 4th grader that didn't get her way. I argue with her telling her that they didn't pay for the shipping so I wasn't going to pay for it. Finnally she gives up. May 10, 1998: I get the CD-ROM back in the mail. I set it up and att- empt to put the front cover on the computer. For some reason it doesn't fit quite right. I take it out and try putting it in agin. Still it doesn't fit quite right. so i use brute force and put the front cover on. I start the computer up and open the CD-ROM but the cover is in the way. I simply take the cover off and begin to test the CD-ROM. I put in the CD and it does the same thing it did before. At this point I was very mad. I wrote an eMAIL to Acer asking why this problem occered? They said that there shouldn't be any problems because the CD-ROM was "Plug and Play" then gave me the URL to a page with the manual for the CD-ROM. I quickly found that there was a driver for the CD-ROM that I wasn't told about. I installed the driver to find out that it didn't work. May 12, 1998: Being very tired of the run around I gave up. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- *All logos were made ahhhmmm...edited by me.
