Hi
I bought a PC from PC World too when Windows ME was the latest, it too was a Packard Bell piece of junk. It was twice as fast as the machine it was replacing supposedly, but it was rubbish.

I think I would be inclined to send this message to every UK published computer magazine, /., The Register, any national newspaper that has a financial help column and just about any web site that PC World customers might possibly read. Name and shame. I never use PC World they are generally expensive and un-helpful/knowledgeable. Now it seems they are dishonest too!

I wholly agree on this matter, I have never been a fan of PC World ever since they totally screwed up on numerous PCs over the years for the family.
You mean you went more than once! 8-o
I remember when we went to PC World with the family to buy a new computer. We were accosted by this old sales assistant called Ron. This was when Windows ME was new and the height of Ron's expertise was to reassure us that, when using Windows ME, if we found that some of items on our Start menu had disappeared, we shouldn't panic. All we had to do was click a little button at the bottom of the menu and they'd come back.
We had no end of trouble with that piece of Packard Bell junk. My brother and I still laugh at "Packard Bell" and "Ron".
