The best bits of VGI are back

O.K. guys here's the run down a little while back Essex lost the best
computer retailer and technical help centre we had namely VGI
Computers..........Well the best parts of the VGI team are back, They're
called AIM CSL.

You can reach them on 01268 728111 or the website www.aimcsl.co.uk (it's
still under construction but its got all the pertinent info)

There still getting back on there feet but they've got the same
professional outlook to Computing I.E. honesty and Technical know how.

They're a great bunch of Guys & Gals as everyone who ever dealt with the
old VGI knows and need our support so give them a try

Matt

P.S. I am in no way linked to VGI or AIM, I'm just an old customer of
theirs who wants to see them back on their feet, as ****y World and all
the other fly by night computer shops in this area never gave such good
service as they did.

If they were so good, why did they go bust?

Someone who shall remain nameless was allegedly cooking the companys
books and took the rest of the team down with them.

If you know Geoff and the rest of the team ask them about it.

I would like to point out to Mike Chandler Ex Director of VGI Computers
that I used the word "alleged" on purpose as I do not know the truth of
what happened.

I simply heard rumours on the so called grapevine and in hindsight
should not of posted it here as it was hearsay.

Sorry Mike Chandler if I have caused you any offence.

This is a very serious allegation. I would like you to explain this
allegation and who made it as, since I was one of the directors, this is
news to me.

Reply to address is spam-trap. Use paul at streetka dot biz if you
really must!

No I posted his e-mail so that I could show the context, I wanted to
show Mike that I was taking his e-mail seriously and to apologize to him
in public, If I have breached any rules it won't happen again.

what makes you think he'd need permission? The message was sent using an
open protocol, which can be intercepted along the way by any number of
servers (like sending a letter without an envelope). There was no
specific disclaimer or warning claiming sole ownership for the author or
prohibiting duplication/re-use, and nor was there any implied ownership
such as the use of cryptography, which would indicate that the author
wanted only the recipient to see the contents.

I saw no copyrighted material quoted or any intellectual property rights
breached. So where's the problem? Of course, all this assumes that Matt
has posted the email in full.

I did, I have not edited it in anyway, thats way I left the AVG stuff on
the bottom it's a straight copy & paste.

Did Mr Chandler, by any chance offer some explanation for the company's
demise? As a director (and one who seems to have some knowledge of what has
happened) he should know exactly what the problem was. If the company went
into liquidation, then the reasons for its downfall would become public
knowledge eventually, so there is no reason why he should not let potential
customers know now.

Mike Chandler didn't say!

I was a loyal customer of his company for years and I too would like
know the truth of what really happened?

All I do know for certain is that he's not linked with AIM Computer
Services Ltd. in any way.
