I'm just curious; has anyone (besides Utahns) heard of "Totally Awesome Computers"?

UW, why do you ask?

<-- Utahn, also a local computer business owner.

I have my opinions about this company, and it's owner, but they can wait until I see what this thread is about. Take a look at the footer of this page. Yeah...

Any wierdness you might find from 'SuperDell's' computer stores will be knocked up six or seven notches when you discover his other venture, "Totally Awesome Guns and Range," and hear a radio ad in which his high-pitched voice proclaims that not only does he have all the automatic weapons you'd ever want, but that they are, of course, totally awesome.

He also enjoys making late-night infomercials in which he dispenses instruction in child raising (he's a "spare the whip, spoil the child" type) and tells stories about God making sure that his sister didn't get lost when she drove across the country. But that's relatively unrelated.

Zev, I'm in the market for another PC. Which business is your so I can come patronize it?

I know that Super Dell annoys a lot of people with his radio commercials, and I admit I haven't heard any in about three years, but when I lived in SLC I used to really get a kick out of him. I thought his commercials were just about the best thing to be heard on the radio.

Now, I don't agree with his politics, and I have heard of one or two of his gimmicks that have kind of turned me off. However, my family in Utah highly recommends his stores. They say they are very helpful, and their customer support is fantastic. The computers are supposed to be really good, too.

I will admit that I got my current PC at TAC. . . . The guy's annoying, but he (well, his people) makes a decent computer.

But still, I'll come see Zevlag's store for my next one. Assuming Zev posts to tell me which one it is. LS Micro, EBC?

I was just curious what other people thought of TACs. We just got one and we love it so far. Especially that we have free tech support and we have already sent it in because are "All in wonder" card was messed up [Grumble]

. They are going to replace it as soon as they order one in.

Not to mention our TAC is fast, too. We didn't get the fastest one we could, but it has an AMD Athlon 2600. I downloaded two different benchmark software programs. Our computer kicks the butts of all the computers I've put it up against so far, when testing overall performance. It even beat a Pentium 4 by 50% and a dual XEON 2800 by 30%. [Hail]
