Computer ship date- CyberPowerPC lies-what can I do?

Cardinal Rule asked:


I ordered a PC online over the weekend from cyberpowerpc.com, based on excellent word of mouth things I heard about them. The gave an estimated ship date of this Friday, the 19th. Now, they are saying the 29th! I know unexpected delays can occur, but 10 days more? Changing from 6 days to 16 days to ship? And get this, if you go to their website right now, they estimate a ship date of the 25th. 4 days before my PC that I ordered last weekend! So either I am getting screwed, or CyberPowerPC is now lying even more, and what is now the 25th will become Feb. 6th or something.

The point is, I need a PC for next week. My wife is starting school and needs to have it. Do I have any rights here? Can I demand to get “rush service” without the extra charge, do to their blatant misrepresentation? *** do I want a Media Center PC for when Vista will already be out when I finally get it in the mail?

I want to move 100 Gigabytes of data from one computer to another but without many cables. but I have LAN?

Frank L asked:


In particular it’s a Mac Laptop and I want to move the stuff to a media center PC, but when I pull out the media center drive and hook it up to the Mac, the mac thinks that it’s a locked drive or something. Any way to transfer easily over a LAN between 2 OS’s?

Or alternatively, both computers have a FIREWIRE slot… could I do something there? Thanks guys!
