I know what you mean about Time, a friend of mine bought one from them and had no end of problems with it. Finally she junked it and bought a laptop instead, needless to say she has had no problems since. With regard to Comet, I think that they are without doubt the worst electrical retailer in the country. I went into Comet on six separate occaisions to buy different things with the cash fairly burning a hole in my pocket, only to be told every time that the product I wanted was not in stock, but could be ordered for me. "But I need it today", I said. "Sorry", they said. "Stuff it !", I said and walked out. Dixons and Curry's are much the same.
