    So, this website was written by the person that has the laptop now? Or the person that sold it, if it was the person tat sold it, he must be an idiot for saying on there that he knew it was broken.

    read it all, it's written by the guy with the laptop now.
    Here's why Linux is easier than Windows:
    Package Managers! Apt-Get and Portage (among others) allow users to install programs MUCH easier than Windows can.
    Hardware Drivers. In SuSE, ALL the hardware is detected and installed automatically! How is this harder than Windows' constant disc changing and rebooting?

    the guy still tried to post under false names and threaten the buyer with legal action.

    lmao!

    yeah, and best of all, the story has just hit british,duch and australian national tabloids!

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/liv...n_page_id=1770

    amir also said he's now going to the police

    when they find the site, they will probably have it shut down, but then he himself will face theft, public indecency (for the legs pictures), and wasting police time. probably more than five years in jail!

    this will surely make an example of him. maybe scammers will think twice.


    oh! by the way, here is the original ebay page. asyou can see, laptopguy (spikeytom) is not the only person amir has screwed over (see the feedback):

    lol yeah.

    well, if he has actually gone to the police and given a false statement, then BAM! jail he goes!

    not to mention the other charges he will be facing
