    Overwhelmed with the cell phone market.

    I have a Samsung d807 on Cingular, and it works quite well. I think you can get it for around 100 now. PLenty of space for ringtones, a really nice 1.3mp camera, and a Micro SD card for putting mp3s and whatnot on it.

    Monarchcomputer using customers money as a float, anyone have recent experince

    A new wrinkle has arisen. The Monarch premises have been seized by the county tax commissioners office. A friend went by and saw the sign, I'll snap a pic tomorrow and upload it if you'd like.

    Monarchcomputer using customers money as a float, anyone have recent experince

    Trying to be e-famous... rrrright. I didn't lok for a job on company time. I didn't surf career builder or monster looking for employment, and never took a call from a headhunter on my extention. In truth there was no direct order to screw the customer, but the implication was just that...

    Monarchcomputer using customers money as a float, anyone have recent experince

    Well ethics and seeing the company going down had me looking to jump ship. It wasn't said in the words I stated, but that's what it amounted too. Those orders could only come from on high, there was no middle management. The leadership structure had the head honcho (Trey and Sterling's...

    Monarchcomputer using customers money as a float, anyone have recent experince

    General Crespin: The problems at Monarch started a good while ago, things started getting bad at the end of 2005, and during 2006 it just got crazy as the year progressed. Chargebacks just went up and up and up. The rumblings I heard was that MCS had outside financing, which more or less...

    Monarchcomputer using customers money as a float, anyone have recent experince

    I ran into a fellow ex-employee today while I was out and about and discovered that Monarch has indeed been bought out. Whoever bought them wanted the rights to sell the Hornet system (since it was I believe a custom chassy). Anyone who you knew who worked there is gone, from what I heard...

    Best gamepad? ...a follow-up to best mouse. :P

    If you're using the gamepad for emulation I'd stay away from the 360 pad. It's d-pad sucks, and I didn't like the analog sticks for 2d gaming. I have a Saitek pad that works great, especially since I borrowed it from a friend during college and then we graduated and it's still in my...

    Newegg + APOs = :(

    MCS might eventually ship to you, eventually being the primary word. They're on a major downslope, and I'd steer clear. I think it's worth paying a little more at another place that sends to APO's, as you'll actually get the merchandise.

    Cell phone advice

    I have Cingular service and the only problems I've encountered where I live is one odd dead spot. If I'm on the phone I warn peopel that I can still hear them, but they won't be able to hear me. I pay around 40 a month for 400 anytime 5000 night and weekend minutes. I hardly use them, so I...

    Monarchcomputer using customers money as a float, anyone have recent experince

    I don't know how I'm suppossed to prove I used to work there. I remember when they changed it to 30 days in the Terms and Conditions so the phone staff would have a little bit more time to brush people off about not getting refunds. The only refunds that really get issued are when people...

    Monarchcomputer using customers money as a float, anyone have recent experince

    I was a little bored at my new job and decided to do a google search for "Monarch Computer Sucks" and came across this post. I know MCS used to advertise on HardOCP, so I wanted to see what people were saying. I thought I would drop a line and say from an insider's perspective that the...

    Monarchcomputer using customers money as a float, anyone have recent experince

    And I know, because I used to work there, this isn't speculation. I'm not saying anything bad against them because I'm disgruntled or anything, it's more as a public service. I would advise against placing an online order, the website saying In Stock doesn't necessarily mean they have the...
