Check out their website. they run a non - profit organisation, where for a small yearly donation, you get all the email support you need, free software, competitions and discounts. The site is ideal for beginners. They are also starting PC & internet courses at the shop soon. I think the whole thing's a brill idea.
The guy that runs it is local, give him a look. Make enquiries via the website or at 35, Warner St.

Nice idea and all that but where does it say its non-profit, and from how you have described it above it sounds like the money is being donated to charity, It certainly doesn't look that way to me.
If it was free I'd be interested but a tenner is best spent on a couple of computer mags. Anyway, nice idea, maybe I'll start charging £5 a year for this site, you'll only have to donate it so I know your a serious Accrington person!   ;)
 
Re: Monitors

Yes been there bought a USB2 card for £20 when i went on broadband
 
Re: Monitors

Just another quick point about this "tec-zone" thing. The guy who runs it says hes called Oscar, he also has released some sound software available from the above mentioned site. When you go to download it, it says, and i quote the website -

"Due to lack of resources at this time, we cannot offer technical support. We will let you know here when we can do so."

So, hang on a minute. Lets have a think about this. You want me to spend 10 quid on a site that you say will help me, but you don't have time to support software you have written?

Wake up and smell the coffee!

Stick with micks computer help line, it's free and it's genuine!
 
Re: Monitors

Think Mick probably knows the guy that runs it, from the market  ???
 
Re: Monitors

Ive seen him but never spoken to him only when i bought the USB2card
seems ok but as for the downloads i dont know.
if anyone wants a big file downloading i will be more than happy to help
only takes seconds to download with broadband
 
Re: Monitors

just had a look at the site.
I think the bloke in the pic is a guy called Oscar.
and yes i do know him he has been ok with me.
but if they will not support there software then i would think again :-/
 
Re: Monitors

Maybe I've interpretted this wrongly.
Might be worth getting him on the forum to give us some more in depth info into what it is he's doing???  Then people could make informed decisions. After all if it's not genuine, they deserve to know, don't you think?

Sort it out Mick!!!  ;D ;D ;D
 
Re: Monitors

Right had a word with Oscar at tec zone he said "they would be happy to support any software.
and that he will be on this site about 10 pm in the chat room if you have any questions you would like to put to him about tec zone
he said he was comming on anyway as he has been told how good the site was  ;)
 
Re: Monitors

Now i know who it is he is ok Oscar will help you anyway he can  ;D
 
Re: Monitors

Can I ask why the Forum Administrator does not have a name, and why does he have to presume that people are automatically con artists? I don't want to get anybody's back up or anything, just wondering. :)

I'm Oscar's wife and although I suppose some would say I'm biased, most people that know us will tell you that we try to be as fair and honest as possible. I know that Oscar goes out of his way to help people and it upsets me when people start putting a label on him that is not a true description. :'(

Anyway, I'll get off my horse now and get on with ironing his shirt for tomorrow, so he will look as smart as possible for all the wonderful people of Accy. [smiley=cheers.gif] [smiley=cheers.gif]
 
Re: Monitors

I agree with HarryX on this, and it isn't a good idea for everyone to know your true identity. Anyone who has half an idea what they are doing with a computer connected to the internet can find out exactly who I am within a matter of minutes. It is not difficult, ask your husband. There are so many internet scams out there I am cautious, just like everyone else. Refer to my other post for more details.

I didn't say he wouldn't help, your own website says that!

I agree with Harry, and does that not also mean that Oscar should be entitled to be wrong about some things (if he is), or does he have to be perfect. After all you lot need something to slag him off about don't you?

It did say on our website that at the present time software support could not be given for that one particular product.
This was due to an issue he had with the program that he hadn't had chance to sort out. He has since rectified the problem and has stated this on the website. He can now offer support on this program as well as everything else, although he has missed taking off the offending words "Due to lack of resources at this time, we cannot offer technical support for Oscars Sound Recorder."  from the website, but I will draw his attention to this as soon as possible.

Thankyou for finally answering forum administrator. It's a shame you missed the firworks last night. We all had a great time getting the wrong end of the stick, didn't we Cazzer? But OOOps am I being sarcastic again?

As for you name forum administrator, I know all too well how important it can be to protect your identity on the net, and I also know how to get peoples information so I don't have to ask my husband (sorry but I found that a little patronising).
I was merely stating that 'forum administrator' doesn't sound very friendly or approachable for newcomers (or should I say that in my humble opinion I don't think it does). A nickname or something would maybe be better that's all.
