From what I've seen, this guy is scary; he even claims that you should buy from him because he is a Christian!
"I only choose Michael's Computers over any other company because it’s far better to know the maker and someone you can trust and is a Christian" I like this quote: "As I write this I am playing a live concert recording, decoding another audio file to .WAV format, burning a CD, downloading multiple files, working on high resolution photos in Paint Shop Pro, and just for fun I launched Norton's virus scanner, all at the same time" |

You need to get in contact with the Fraud Department with the FBI. They take monetary fraud the most serious, so it will most likely be delt with.

"Increase the astonishing standard amount of memory all the way up to 2GB of memory down the road. Sure, 128MB, 256MB or even 512MB of memory is plenty to get through all applications, gaming and still have room to breath, when your needs grow and you want to increase memory size even greater, the MX8's are the only systems that can do so with NO compatibility problems!"
Is this guy for real??  |
