I bought 14 last year. One was dead on arrival, which they replaced, but it took a couple of weeks. I've had a total of 4 more stop working so far. They're happy to replace them, if you call them up, run down their checklist, pack up the broken one and send it in. And it only takes a few weeks to get a replacement. I doubt I'll buy any more. At $200 bucks, their pretty cheap. However, with the frequent problems and hassle of returning, I'd rather spend a little more and buy from disklessworkstations.com, or have someone local build a bare pc with a bootable network card.
Just my experience. -Jeff On Tue, 2002-05-28 at 14:53, Julius Szelagiewicz wrote: > Carrie, > i have about 60 of the little buggers and i had a problem with one > cd and one keyboard. didn't even bother asking for replacement. about 30 > of the boxes have been running close to a year. julius > > On Tue, 28 May 2002, Jan Wilson wrote: > > > * CARRIE COY <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [020528 08:57]: > > > We bought a single ThinkNIC to evaluate.
