Hi
I've had a terrible time with some hardware and software the past couple of days, and I'm not talking about the time that I've spent with Wine! :)
This list is dedicated to the stuff that had some nasty surprises in them, hardware and software that made you scream and swear never to buy something from that company again. Software that only lets you do half of what it showed you on the box-cover without a credit card number. Companies that you have had a terrible support relationship with. This post is intended for Windows, Mac and Linux, hardware and software.
This is not a flame thread, so please, just provide us with the facts. I want this to serve as an informative list for people to read and learn from, not something that should not have to be moved to the backyard 5 minutes after it was created. I want this to help people, and hopefully in the futer help me! :)
If the mods feel that this thread is uncalled for, please go ahead and delete it, but I do feel that somewhere there should be something like this. I don't want it to be negative, just informative.
In previous threads that asked for structure, only the first 2 or three people kept to the convention, so if your lazy, just copy and paste a basic template below. The reason for the template is that I HOPE that when some one does a search on the forums for "Product: USB Stick", then this thread'll be in the search results. Feel free to delete the fields you don't use and to add your own.
Hope this turns out as I planned,
Thanks,
Rudolf
