Couldn't of happened to a nicer company, yes I'm sorry for all the
staff and customers but I hope the robbing b*sterds at the top suffer
for their years of ripping people off left, right and centre.....

Not a fan then? :-)

The only people I know bought them had no end of trouble, and eventually
had to buy something new. I'm sure there are people that have had little
or no problems, but I don't know any ....

I like the quote:
"The company's profitability has been affected by falling PC prices and
intense competition from global manufacturers."

So... Nothing to do with producing crap PCs, then?

I'll be suffering the effects of mine for a long time to come. I had one
back when I was single. My wife had one when she was single. We happened to
go into the same chatroom at the same time and the rest, as they say, is
history.

[They were both rubbish PCs]

No doubt a case of "I'll fix your if you'll fix mine....".

yes I agree, I feel for the staff and the loss of jobs, but Tiny PC's
were/are bloody awful contraptions. Their after sales support was utterly
horrendous as well from what I heard...
