Any EX Evesham Technology customer or Employee's here

Yes, same company just a 2 name changes later, from micros, to evesham.com to evesham technology, trying to keep up with the pace, but all the same company
 
My first laptop was from Evesham, and I wasn't impressed, it broke down within a year... something wrong with the motherboard and it couldn't be fixed so I had to buy a new one.
 
Had to buy a new one, surely it would have been fixed / replaced under warranty, unless it was after we went into admin when the warranty was no longer done by Evesham
 
Just scanning some old mags, £599 for a 110mb Hard drive in 1991.
Wonder what that equates to in today's money?

Ahhhhh memories, as a child walking passed the shop in evesham wishing I could afford one, a Full 880k capacity with cooling holes, im sure a nice led 12cm case fan will have kept that bad boy under control
 
I used to work for Evesham Tecnologys in the peterborough showroom, I was made redundant in 2004, the shop was tiny and out of the way so we were alwyas dead. There is also another ex employee on here too!!
 
Evesham Micros became Evesham.com became Evesham Technology. We bought from them a fair few times. Couple of guys I know used to work in the Evesham (geographically) showroom.
 
The PC I'm on now is an Evesham PC. P4 3ghz, 1GB RAM and came with a Radeon 9800 Pro. I've got an X850 in it now(bought from here) and it's about 5 years old and running fine :)

Upgrading later this year though.
 
I remember the name from way back when, long before I'd heard of OcUK (obviously, given the company had been around longer).

The Evesham name was purchased by the people (not what id call them) that gave false hope of a rescue and they are using it for their brand, basically its tiny/time

I was going to say it was a shame to see Evesham go, but if they were prepared to get into bed with those charlatans they must have been so desperate that I'm not at all surprised. Lost count of how many times those brands beginning with T have gone bust/been bought/rebranded/whatever. I 'lost' a perfectly functional laptop to one of those incidents as it had gone back to have the CPU fan replaced. Never, ever, again. Fortunately, insurance paid.

Yeah I have to be careful with what I say as we had to sign all sorts of documents, but I would never ever suggest them or their internet company to anyone
 
I once made a pilgrimage to Evesham Micros in the late 80s to buy an Atari ST 40 meg hard drive for £500.
I got there and was firstly disappointed by the size of the shop and what was in it and then I asked for an expert on the drives.
They told me he was out but was on his way back if I wanted to wait.
40 minutes later he came in and I asked my question -
What is the speed increase of the hard drive compared to the disk drive in the ST?
Answer = It's quicker.

I walked out and bought it from Leeds Computers which ended up being somebody's shed in the back garden.
 
My first TFT was bought from Evesham, the service was great, phoned them, in stock, went to pick up the goods, taxi home, shame the directors screwed the company and their employees. :(
