thats liks mostly Industrial Zone and like miles away from civiliation... lol
weird place to be shipping computers to..

Umm....I don;t think so.

Thunderbay is a city of about 125,000 I'd call that civilization.

Just because we're north of the 49th doesn't mean it's the middle of the wilderness.

Whoa guys, chill out.

I'm offering a 15Ghz computer! Better pricing than Michaels!

Come to my store! Wankey Computer's.

(Damn, the name even gives it a ring)

Hey people - I'm pretty new here but I've been reading this site for a few weeks now.

Has anyone looked at his "Testimonials" lately? The first one listed provides links to two websites of an actual author. The "heart attack survivor" site has a link on the "author" page that allows you to send him email. I wonder if asked to verify his "testimonial" whether he would affirm or deny it's authenticity.

Hum, the heart attack page has a link to michaels computers at the bottom of the page. I'm not sure why a page for a book about heart attack survivors would link to a computer company. Maby this Brad Henderson is a friend of michaels. . .


Oh, and how long does it usually take this joker to reply to email?

I want some more michael bashing... check your emails everyone!!

It's the 4th day after I sent him the email... I guess I shutted his mouth up pretty well :D

Thank you for your letter.

The information you've provided has been forwarded to our Legal Department. We
appreciate your bringing this matter to our attention.

Hi, I e-mailed you on saturday but I did not get a reply. I was asking why would you have the MX8 if the MX7 was an instant system. What's in MX8 that makes it better than the MX7. Just how much faster is MX8 over the MX7. Thank you.

---

and He totally ignored my question.

Hello Alex,

We stopped selling the MX7 at the end of last year. We roll out each new model each year which is now the MX8. Not only performing faster, quieter and with a longer warranty¡K.it is the flagship
of our products and what high-end consumers are demanding.

What we post are benchmarks that show about 200 frames per second faster in 3D Games and graphics over the MX7. Essentially, it¡¦s a higher horsepower computer system which is a blast to use.

here are a series of emails and the rediculous answer.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

my first email:

Michael,

I run my own business and have reached a point where store bought computers (Dell, Compaq, Gateway, etc.) just don't meet my needs anymore.

I am on the market for seriously fast computers and your ad seems to fill the bill. I have a couple of questions if you would be so kind to answer before I place an order.

First, the OS you list is not available retail, is this some special OS that you have developed? Is it compatible with other Microsoft OS versions? And the components, what brand is the 52x CD rom? The brand of the hard drive and is it ATA or S-ATA?, motherboard manufacturer, model number, chipset and what the actual running speed of the processor is. How much ram is included? I guess what I am asking for is the complete lowdown on your awesome units.

I am on the market to replace the 5 units I presently have in my small office, and I want to do this with minimal down time. Sorry for all the questions, but I need to know what I am getting before I place any order.

Thank you for you time.

the answwer:



Hello Dennis,

Our systems are more than 100% compatible with all Microsoft versions.

Our systems are all manufactured in-house by us and if you would like

5 systems, then we will offer you a discount. Thank you for your questions.

my second innocent email:

Michael,

Thank you for the quick reply, however, you didn't answer any of the questions I asked regarding the components.

I don't want to order blind, I want to know what is going in the machines. Please send me the details regarding the MX8, I want something beyond your front page hype.

Thank you,

Dennis

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.


and the rather harsh answer (thinks i am a noob):

Your welcome Dennis for my quick reply. Although I answer as many as 200 emails a day, I only

have time to answer immediately. If you don’t understand what we have online, then it’s ok to purchase

from another company but we promise that you would never find a faster machine and we must continue

our sales with clients who are more knowledgeable immediately.



Thank you again Dennis and all of our best to you.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.

Never once would he tell me anything, like the brand of the components, type of MB, etc, he just assumed I was uninformed and expected a blind order from is all I can gather.

Make for a good read anyway.

baldy

That's basicaly what he told me, too :mad:
I wish someone had the guts/money to order one and then call him up and ***** about it :D

Well, I jumped on the email bandwagon in a state of utter fury. The email I just sent is below.

In this email, I reference a previous email where I sent him the letter I recieved from AMD stating they have never heard of Michael, and that the processor he claims to use does not exist.

Mods, as usual, feel free to edit this if it is over the top. I am sorry, I just couldn't take it anymore.



Email removed - Mysti

I've got my friend working on it. I told him to email him and say that you want to buy 3 systems, but you can't pay cash and you want to put it on credit. Then when he gets them, he can dispute the charges as fraud and never pay a dime. I doubt Mike will go for it, seeing as this is why he doesn't take credit cards anyway, but it's worth a shot.

I removed the email from your post because it does violate the AUP:

"You will not behave in an abusive and/or hateful manner, and will not harass, threaten, nor attack anyone"

Even though we have a filter you still should follow this:

"You will not use profanity in our forums..."

Please take this as a warning to not violate the AUP in the future. If anyone wants the email you may freely email/PM it to anyone, you just cannot post it in the main forums. Thank you – Mysti

Looked up mapquest
is actually on a dock. I don't think he would live/sell computers there so what the hell.

i swear this guy is so full of crap.
If you do a little bit of research, even his addresses seem to be frauds...

Go to whois.net look up his website and check his personal stuff... so much bs but i think it'll be more than enough to sue his sorry ***

Address removed - mysti

ATilaptops, if you read this, tell me if that address exist or not? :D :D


I can't wait until we get rid of all his bs

Even if it is available to the public??? I thought that rule was there to protect posters, not everyone in the free world who's address can be found by anyone.

Hm... I found more stuff about his website domain stuff... I don't know if it's appropriate to post it here or not so just in case I won't do it. But if you want it, email/PM me for it, because we can contact his site's ISP to shut down the website. email is in my profile

Clear your PM box, ImaNihilist...

I just go by what it states... if you wish to ask more about it, talk to Catalyst; I am just the middle man.

wow almost 30 pages. Longest forum discussion ive ever read. How about we all pool our money, into a paypal account, and order one of these systems from him, then when it dosent work, we can sure him with a class action suit, and all make some money off it? Sounds like a plan to me, and there is still tons of information on what he has/still claims and we could probaly sue Instigatiors lawyer as he is already fimiliar with the case.

Newest update to Michael's website - he now has a link to an MP3 of a radio advertisement for his crap linked on the front page. I only shudder to think of how many people may be duped into buying his crap because of that ad.

I caught him red handed...

Here's a sager 4780:
https://www.sharkyforums.com/

Here is a Michael's MX517:
https://www.sharkyforums.com/images/...2004/02/79.jpg

Ooh...does look similar doesn't it! ;)

All he does is resell crap.

The sager costs:
Cash Discount
$2409.28 + 3-in-1 card reader + mouse = about $2500.

And the MX517 costs:
Cash Discount
$2804.00


He's making $300 per machine right there...if the specs are correct. I configured the sager at www.pctorque.com to be exactly like the MX517.

NO!!! Not exactly. Come on, I'll bet the Sager doesn't have Quad Hypertransport NOR Indinimic Hard drives!!! It's clear you're just behind the times, my friend....:D :D

BTW, hey, all, I've kinda held back, but isn't this whole thread kinda like trying to discuss honest business with a Times Square drug dealer or a Real Estate Telemarketer?
