anybody offer to just buy mmodal computers from them - instead of sending them back?


Posted: Aug 21, 2014

I mean the one I'm using is at least 5 years old...how much could it be worth to them?

I offered and they said no -No reason given.

I'm thinking it's because there is confidential info on the hard drive? - Kiki

perhaps

But yet they will not send me labels to send my old one back - just saying

They upgraded my computer a few years ago and were supposed to send me labels to send my old one back. Still waiting. Requested labels multiple times. I don't think they have any clue what they are doing.

You are right--they are clueless..... - Kiki

I would just keep the computer and continue using it as your own until if and when they finally send the labels. If they want it so bad they'd send the labels. If it takes them much longer just tell them you are charging them storage fees to keep their computer. LOL.

Ha, when they upgraded mine, they HOUNDED ME - L&L

with emails to return the old one until I did.

Why would you want it? You can't do anything with it. - SM

I had one of their computers for the longest and never heard a word from them. I finally threw it out when I moved and now just use the monitor with my own computer.

Company computers are down locked and unless you work for them, the computers are useless.

Hmm I used mine for months before they finally asked for it back.... - Kiki

It wasn't locked. After repeatedly asking for labels and not getting a reaponse I took that to mean they didn't want it, continued using it, and then they finally decided they wanted it. So I used a program to wipe the hard drive clean and sent it back. Didn't want them having access to any of my info. They said they always wipe it clean when they get them but I wasn't going to trust that.

Everyone acts like it's all something new not to be provided a computer.  As a former recruiter, let me tell you that 98% of equipment sent out was not returned and this very expensive for any company.  It's not Nuance's fault XP will no longer be protected.  There is no reason to go in debt for a new computer when you can easily buy one for less than 200, and remember it's all tax deductible and they have the loan plan if you meet the qualifications.
