Evesham Technology Ltd

are a bunch of spamming bastards, so don't buy anything from them, ever (I've not purchased anything from them, nor will I) And tell your friends and colleagues not to buy from them either. Go to Dabs or Scan or any one of a number of decent online retailers, who don't send out unsolicited commercial email.

(I ignored them the first time they spammed me a bit ago. Just had another spam from them (at netbsd-vax address at Demon, they have got that from buying a spammers list. Not anything opt in or requesting mail from them - as if I would.))

Are they breaking UK law yet, by doing so?

Is sending unsolicited commercail email illegal here yet?

It sort of will be from the 11th of December: BBC Web site article. Of course it won't make any difference to the number (50 or so a day) of shite messages I receive from overseas.... :-(

apparently the UK law stops people sending from personal stuff but not business stuff. Idiots.

so time to set up a company with the express aim of spamming all the MPs who design / approve that law!

Funny, about 10 years ago (and more) I used to think Evesham were good (my school baught a load of kit from them and were very happy) but then they seemed to fade away. Last dieing gasps?

Wonders if this Evesha,m Technologies Ltd is the same as Evesham Micros from yestayear, suppliers (or not) of BBC bits and pieces?...

I bought a server from Evesham, mainly because Dell had fucked us around... they were VERY helpful and quick to deliver the product we needed... much quicker and more helpful than Dell, who took 4 months of constant nagging and a shitty e-mail to their VP of European sales before we recieved a refund for a £3,500 server we never recieved.

Scan have a history of absolutely terrible customer service... although it seems to have improved with time.

Dabs are great, they even sent us a load of free mugs.

However, Dabs and Scan are targetting completely different markets to Evesham

Seconded re Scans customer service, the one time I had call to use it it was... painfull... Though their offers of the day are very very tempting usually :)
Dabs & another one [livejournal.com profile] mindygoth uses (erm, invensys or something) seem reliable. Wish we had a good local PC bits supplier round here, as PnP soon adds up shopping on the 'net

Hmmm, other than Dell, I don't know who I would go to to purchase a ready made built tested working & installed PC...

WOC

My company are very addicted to World of Computers. My boss tried some other local Cambridge suppliers, but some of them took over a month just for a quote.

WOC aren't the cheepest, but if there is a problem we know where they live!

Aye, being able to wander round and collar a person to return a smoking snockleplinth for refund / replacement is worth quite a bit.
