I haven't had many dealings with the company itself (and I am considering
purchasing their machine for the company I work for), but in the June 30,
1986 issue of FidoNews (available on your local FIDO bulletin board), there
is an article about a VERY unhappy PC's Limited customer.  It seems he
purchased a hard drive from them, which failed.  He sent it back, only
to have it come back DOA.  After getting another RA (wow; lot of acronyms!)
from the company, he sent it back.  A long period of time passed without
his receiving his drive, and repeated letters and calls to the company 
elicited no response.  So at the time of his 'warning letter' via the FIDO
network, he had essentially lost the $700 he spent on the hard disk, not
to mention not even having the drive itself.  I suggest you get the
FidoNews and read it, as it contains copies of the various letters he sent 
along with responses; I'd be VERY wary in dealing with the company after
even one such incident.
