    Calling time on tiny ..

    Tiny PCs goes into administration

    Been bubbling for a while this one, infact I'm surprised they hung on this long, collective bad mouthing by much of the 'pc community' must have worked !

    Still its 1500 folks who had to push/assemble/fix (lots of that ! ) a 'pooh' product, that are out of work

    The real shame of it all is that those 1,500 people probably don't have any retirement plan or backup savings to help them through the unemployment. The Executives who ran out and are responsible for the company's demise, are well taken care of. It's the same sad song the world over, Tiny PC there, Enron and World Com here. I think mismanagement should incur a personal liability on the Executives involved and all of their assets seized to help aleviate the financial burden to customers, employees and common share holders alike.
    I didn't surrender, but they took my horse and made him surrender. They have him pulling a wagon up in Kansas I bet.

    Its the little people who are always affected the most.

    You could even say it is the tiny people who are affected the most.

    People I speak with always thought the Tiny in 'Tiny Support' stood for 'Tough, It's now yours' anyway

    About time...
    Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."
