    Michael's Computer - Tomshardware investigation

    Hello all,

    I am investigating complaints about Michael's Computers. Tomshardware will be doing a consumer protection article about Michael's.

    On his site, there is a Sharky Extreme logo. I've searched through the reviews at Sharky and cannot find anything about Michael's Computers.

    Has anyone dealt with Michael's Computers before?

    Thanks

    There's actually a huge thread re: Michael's Computers:

    As for the logo... It's pretty safe to say he's using it without permission.

    Yeah, start wading through that thread and it won't take you long to get the drift.

    When can we expect to see the article on tomshardware? Looking forward to reading it, although I do appreciate this sort of work involves a lot of background work.
