Re: Unhappy with Syndicomm and Tony Diaz

That's weird bill, because when Reactivemicro was behind on order, you said, and I quote: "FWIW I am glad that I held-off on ordering another Microdrive, this one for
my recently aquired GS. I would be pissed too and I might have a hard time
remembering that this is only a hobby."


IMO, if you aren't going to do your business at least somewhat professionally, you shouldn't do it at all.   Starts to sound like a scam when you take orders and are NOT filling them in a timely matter.

How hard is it to email someone?   Not hard at all these days, since they are online orders.   Seems to me if he's not going to dedicate any time to his business, he should shut it down, or give/sell it to someone else.

It gives sellers of older computer stuff a bad name, makes you think it's all a bunch of scammers trying to get what they can.   Based on what people have said, i would never order anything from Syndicomm.   That is not good business.
