When I woke up yesterday to the ultimate black-screen-of-death on my PC, I was completely stressed out. I would push the power button and there was not so much as a whir, or even a purr, nary an inkling of life. While that is NEVER a good thing, thanks to RE PC, it wasn't a bad thing either. After an hour or so on the phone, we determined that the internal power supply needed to be replaced. Sounds scary! And I was going to have to wait 48 hours for a tech to come out, then pay a whole lot of money for parts and labor. BUT, someone suggested that I go to RE PC. Well, that was a very good idea. Although they tried to find a used Power Supply for $2.95, we couldn't. That said, I was thrilled that for $24.95 I was able to buy a new one, and they helped guide me through the process of replacing it myself. (They couldn't touch it unless I actually paid them to fix it, but it was both helpful and empowering to have them guide me through it.) Long story short, for $24.95, I was using my computer by dinner time, and am no longer scared of anything, at least not anything inside my computer's tower.

If you're in the market for DSL and value your time, the only company you should bother to talk to is Seattle-based Speakeasy Networks. If you shop around, you'll quickly find out that they are (by far) the most expensive option - but oh boy are they worth it. Some of the reasons:
- You don't have to deal with Qwest. At all.
- You pay for x amount of bandwidth and they'll let you use it all, without threatening you about it.
- By far the best support in the industry... their reps can work without a 20-item checklist.
I've been with them 7 years running now, and have no intention of going elsewhere.

Those of us who use Macs know that it takes a certain level of knowledge to choose a Mac over a PC. When you go into the Mac Store you're surrounded by like-minded people who truly know what they're talking about.
I totally disagree with Jessica B, who says that the Mac Store is geared at making money off college students. College students at UW get a student discount at the University Book Store computer store... so she's way off base there.
Trust me. If you want good, solid advice regarding Mac producst, this is where you want to go.

Upon purchasing a new house in Seattle, purchasing a tv (a big one) was on the top of my husband's priority list. He did most of the research online and saw that Best Buy had the best selection and prices. We visited the Bellevue store and while I was less than enthusiastic about the large purchase, the salesman was very patient in understanding what we were looking for and took extra time to explain the pros and cons of each model. We were in and out in less than and hour and a new TV was delivered within the week. It was much less painful than I thought!

I love these guys. Every time I've gone there, they've given me the straight skinny about how to build a great sounding system. Everyone who works there is a true audiophile and is committed to giving great customer service. Also, if you're like me and don't have thousands of dollars to spend, they have a great selection in their "used" equipment room. Don't waste your time on a "big-box" store - just come here!
Pros: great service; range of equipment; knowledgable staff; good prices; no attitude
Cons: nada

ok, so I can't rate anything except the people skills and the fact that my rental from them worked just fine. There were no hidden charges and nothing that didn't work. After a week I decided to return it and get a new one--a PC. I'm still hoping that in the 14 day trade period they can find me a Mac--you can tell I'm not a computer person) but the price was right and my laptop comes with lifetime tech support.
The group had all the various tech personalities--a curmudgeon who huffed and puffed, a dreamer who couldn't get the forms filled out expeditiously and the junkie who did things clearly, quickly and
two steps ahead.
Proviso--if you are in a hurry, the guys just slow down. Maybe this will pick up when/if they figure out the service thing. Still, they advertise on Progressive Radio and they have ecological light bulbs and coffee for sale. Toni C.

Here on the Kitsap Peninsula we use Quest. All my services are bundled so it is really convenient! I have 3 cell phones, land line, dsl and dish network all on one bill. I pay 250.00 a month or a little less for everything. It's a little steep but worth it, the customer service is great and I really like having only to remember to make one payment a month that covers so many services.

More 3 months ago
My wife and I recently decided to take the plunge on purchasing a 50" plasma screen TV. We did our research online, read the reviews, talked to Friends, and knew exactly what we wanted. We planned to buy the TV online, because based on our past experiences with high dollar electronic purchases, we usually find much lower prices on the Internet and it saves us driving around and dealing with pushy, inept, commissioned sales people. After a few days of carefully digging around the web, I'd found the lowest possible delivered price for the specific brand and model of TV we wanted was $1,332. Then we stopped by Video Only in Lynnwood, WA to take a peek at the TV stands they stocked and almost by accident we found the price of the exact model TV we planned to buy online was $199 less than the best delivered price we could find on the web. So we bought the TV on the spot at Video Only and added a matching home theater system I'd been eying for $100 less than typical online prices. We also bought a nice TV stand for about half the price of a similar model we'd seen early that day at Best Buy. Needless to say we're thrilled with every aspect of our buying experience at Video Only. I should mention the sale reps were in no way pushy... they stayed out of my way until I called them over and needed assistance. I think it really helped that we went into the store knowing exactly what we wanted. So my advice: Do your research online, decide what you want beforehand, research pricing, then visit Video Only for the best rock-bottom price!
