----an exerpt from an email he actually responded to (SPadje, over on the futuremark forums)
================================================== ==================================
The man has an AOL account instead of an emaila ddress, even tho his host provides POP3 email,
he listed his fax as 999-999-9999,
he has the same phone # for both of the 1st 2 addresses listed,
His based on admin and tech contacts, it appears he either can't lie the same way twice, or has 2 stores,
He DID get the proper area code for his address...whcih surprised me,
his website has YET ANOTHER (3 so far) addresses listed in Marina Del Ray, CA, which is in area code 310, which is about 40-50 miles from the other 2 stores, not to mention I can't find any mention of a suite 359 in that building, and it isnt in the yellow pages

Having top of the line components throughout your computer provides you with so many benefits! Here is a short list of some of them:
1. Longer MTBF. MTBF is Mean Time Before Failure! The fact is nothing in this world lasts forever, but the components in Michaels Computers are rated to last MUCH longer than the hard drives, motherboards, fans, and other critical parts of most PC's. Of course that's a major reason we can offer the Best Warranty Anywhere!
2. Better precision engineering. This translates to less mistakes. Have you ever been subjected to the dreaded Blue Screen of Death for apparently no reason at all? Most people don't realize that the software isn't always to blame. Cheap hardware is cheap hardware, period. From the power supply to the hard drive to the smallest detail in your PC, Michael's Computers will use the best precision engineered hardware available on the market. This means far less errors and crashes and less teeth gritting on your part. Your system will last a long time, be rock solid stable, and gremlin free.
MTBF....haha more bullshit from 'the man'

My favorite testimonial...and one I am seriously thinking fo reporting and getting him in trouble for.
================================================== ====================
His testimonials all seem to be real people..I checked a few, such as the Chiropractor at the bottom, and they all appear legit enough (I think they should sue)
================================================== ================================================== ============
The outstanding MX8-Advanced does all this and more:
Digital Video Editing BUILT IN!
5.1, 6.1 and 7.1 Channel Surround Sound Audio!
HDTV Capable Output from Graphics!
No Dropped Frames with RAID Hard Drives!
WTF is built in video editing and 'dropped frames'?
====================================
More lame quotes off his site:
http://www.michaelscomputers.com/MX8IntelSystems.htm
What is an 8x8 DVD Burner, what is SATA-X, How can he already be shipping SP2 if it's still in Beta, etc etc...this man si a fool
================================================== ======================================
So..sorry thsi was so long..but you will enjoy it...and I took the liberty of reporting Microsoft's anti-piracy people for distrubiting/resellign beta copies, cheers!
