Pining for Brad

Posted by Dodongo on Friday, January 26, 2007

Oh, I/O Magic…. how you make me pine for the quality customer service of Brad from Gravis….

I got a I/O Magic stand alone CD Duplicator for Xmas in 2005. The thing worked great for about 6 months, then the bottom drive pooped its pants. I procrastinated for a few months before beginning the RMA process, but eventually got a replacement unit. Not only was this unit inferior out of the box with a smaller, cheaper display, but its bottom drive died after five days! I tried to contact I/O Magic several times through email and the internet, but got no responses. After a month or so I finally decided to give them a phone call.

The following audio is a recording of their tech support message and is representative of I/O Magic’s careful attention to detail.

… and yes, each number is a different department.

I never thought I’d say this, but I’m starting to appreciate getting my tech support from India.

He told me that he IS the tech support department. He does tech support for I/OMagic, Hi-Val and Digital Research Technologies by himself.
