- In the February, 1993 Issue of _PC World_, in the Consumer Watch column,
- it reads:
-
- [In response to a question about RiteMicro:]
-
- RiteMicro is a subsidiary of FastMicro, a company that has been the subject
- of dozens of letters to Consumer Watch over the past year and for which
- we continue to receive complaints. . . .
-
- The Better Business Bureau in Phoenix (the city in which both FastMicro
- and RiteMicro are located), gives both companies an unsatisfactory rating
- and does not condone or recommend purchasing from them due to unresolved
- complaints, according to a spokesperson.
-
- Effective with the January 1993 issue neither RiteMicro nor FastMicro
- advertises in _PC World_.
