Tiny & Time threads (merged)

Joe_Bloggs

The directors have resigned. There is only the acting assistant deputy non executive chairman left. I might have made that last title up a bit. Many computer manufacturers have been caught out by faulty motherboard components, especially leaking capacitors. There is a computing axiom 'Garbage in,Garbage out', GIGO for short. Tiny have proved this axiom by becomming a GIGO flop company. No doubt that they will rise again as Yint, Emit, Mitey, Granvilles etc.

Joe Bloggs you're correct. All the directors have resigned, and theres only the chairman left.
I think Time/Granville Group/Tiny call them what you want, they're all the same group are finished this time.
they have shed over 100 jobs at their Burnley warehouse which is their main depot.

a lot of Tesco/Asda sell tiny boxed systems....wonder if they'll be going for next to nothing now....errrrmmmm:)

I don’t like dell because I build my own and think they are cheap and nasty pcs. Just like tiny.

I didn't like dell and used to build my own but I bought a basic dell for about £180 last October and it has proved superb - it's often cheaper to buy from Dell than to build (inc. a windows licence) an equilvalent machine.

It's a free country if you've got the time and money to spend on a self build then fair enough but I'm sticking with dell !

Let's just hope any MSE'ers who've recently purchased from them used their credit card - as it's possible this could be similar to what happened with Courts not that long ago.

Tiny aren't a phoenix company and it's a bit harsh to say so. The original Tiny genuinely went bust. And then Granville/Time bought them out.
