Cooling down
Following the overheating problems with my laptop I decided to get a cooler for it, the Zalman ZM-NC1000 looks like a good bet so I head off to Dabs to order one. The first order gets put on hold for a security check, apparently because my address details are wrong, despite having been the same since my account was created there several years ago. I cancel that order, change a few details on my account, mainly swapping phone numbers around, and order again. Straight away that order also gets put on hold for a security check. One snotty email later pointing out that we’ve reached something of an impasse, I cancelled that order as well and have ordered it from somewhere (hopefully) more sensible.

Why are you surprised? BT bought Dabs last year. They’ve been going downhill ever since!

So sweepstake on the amount of coolers and corresponding bills you will get… :-)

Hopefully only one.
I’ve already had a Parcel Force tracking number for the latest order, and unsurprisingly no reply from my email to Dabs.

dabs have been going down hill for longer than that. Think I quit using them for a very similar reason and lack of responsive helpddesk

Report back on the cooler when you’ve had it a while please, I need something to make the MBP a little quieter.
