thing is, there are enough people out there now that do not know anything about computers, but will take it to PCWorld for another beloved health check. There is always a queue at the health check counter in stevenage branch.

I once showed one of the PC World salesmen a printed price-sheet from one the computer-shops I normally go to, and asked why PC World's prices were amazingly so much higher...

His response was that in PC World, everything is boxed and guaranteed, and the extra money helps to pay for helpful and friendly staff, and excellent premises.

I replied that the place I had a price-sheet for had helpful/friendly/technical staff, everything was boxed/guaranteed, the shop was in a prime location, and yet their prices were still 25% below PC World's. He couldn't reply, and asked if I actually wanted to buy something. I replied "nope, just looking, thanks", and he walked off.

Always amusing! :D

why is ur username willay? is it sumthing to do with the size of your meat?

Healthcheck. All it does is a virus check, runs scandisk, defrag and a few other basic things.......

PC World know jack sh!t in my professional opinion.

There supposedly amazing "PC Health Check" is just a program called "PC Check" that PC World slapped their name on.

They know feck all, I now just go in there and ask them questions and watch them squirm as they try to answer for fun.

PC World....what a bunch of cowboys !

yeah pc world is ghey as u wud say

AHHHHHHH CRACKED IT, I ATTACHED IT TO THE CATS TAIL NOW IT WORX YAAY

Sounds about right, bunch of feckin' tossers IMO

hahahahaha i went into PC world the other day and looked into there "PC Clinic" wot a joke, u culd so tell theyd opened up a PC that was shagged and left it like that just so it looked like they were working and looked like they knew wot they were doing

Take it to PC World - they're very helpful there! They can run some diagnostics and give your pc a system health check for around £50 - bargain IMO! I'm sure they can help you :)






;)

hmmmmm i had ths trouble took it bck in the end, they did what they do came round n installed it, works ok now, cost £200 tho.
