''To whom it may concern''
By ron carlson, Insanely Great Mac
June 4th 2002
ComputerTown has gone down again -- this time with a lot of money collected from
hopeful iMac buyers
Earlier this year ComputerTown roared out of bankruptcy with a special "tax-free" deal
on the then new LCD iMacs. This special offer received wide and positive publicity
from most Mac-oriented new sites, including IGM (link unavailable).
However, according to MacCentral, the Salem, NH-based retailer is not only closing its
doors the company is likley going to its grave with more than a few buyers'' money as
well.
"The news comes on the heels of recent comments and complaints made by customers of
ComputerTown who attempted to buy flat panel-equipped iMacs through a special
promotion the company offered in February. As of last week, customers who had been
charged were still awaiting delivery of their units," MacCentral noted.
Here''s a quote of the message posted on the ComputerTown website:
To Whom it may Concern:
Due to circumstances beyond our control, ComputerTown has reluctantly closed its doors
for the foreseeable future. This comes after a failed attempt to stay in business
including working through with several issues with our most valuable vendor partners,
including Apple Computer. Our Salem, NH facilities have been permanently shut down
effective May 31st.
VENDORS and CUSTOMERS: Please e-mail any inquiries, including orders, service,
credits, or payment status to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or click HERE) - you will be
contacted by a representative for the company. Please be patient as it may take a few
days for a response to your inquiry.
ComputerTown appreciates your patronage and partnership during the past 23 years. If
we don''t "see" you again, thank you for keeping the dream alive; especially since our
re-opening last July.
Sincerely,
the ComputerTown Team
That last bit about "keeping the dream alive; especially since our re-opening" (i.e.
those people who have neither iMac nor a refund) is a really, really poor choice of
words.
