What ACER stands for.

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.
