[wellylug] computer bits in wellington

[Nigel Roberts]

Quay computers are good if only because if something fails (eg. a hard
disk), you can stroll on in with it and get it replaced on the
spot. Their prices aren't that fantastic however. Compare that with
most places where the device has to be sent away to be checked, and
you might not get a replacement for 2 weeks.

I also use Paradigm PCs (www.pp.co.nz), because I live just round the
corner from them in Newlands. They have very good prices, and they're
generally pretty good on service (if a little slow).

Oh, and Ascent are pretty good, but they lack the easy availability of
Quay and the excellent prices of PP.

Regards,
Nigel
