I heard of many, many cases of people who had problems with equipment
from excellnet; computer, printers, CDRs, you name it. Once they got your
money, you can just go to hell, as far as they care.

It is very hard to find a decent PC seller in Israel. Actually, I'm looking
for one right now, and we shop for equiment daily. All of them have
been very unproffesional until today. In on case, an employee from
one of the bigger Israely PC sellers threatened to "beat the shit" out
of one of our employee ( It wasn't exellnet ).

Just to make it clear, I don't have any disspute with them and never
bought anything from them.
