All Calcuttans in Digit

[sabret00the]

hey there is no brilliant idea behind this but it struck me that with this we can make a group where like minded people may meet and my be discuss issues and stuff that we dont get to do otherwise (mostly in
Calcutta,where computers are value for money things)

OOPS, sorry I could not manage to go there today. Something else came up. :( . Anyways, you can go to Netaji Indoor by taking any metro to Esplanade and then having a 10-15 minute walk towards Eden Gardens. The gate of the indoor stadium is on the road that goes on the right side of the Eden gardens club house.

Arey yaar, there is some bad news. Today I went to Compass, saw some packs of 10 CD-R's but on asking was told that it is only for display. If we want to buy, then we have to contact the actual distributors whose shops are in Chandni Chowk. But one good news, I bought a Logitech Dual action gamepad from the Logitech stall and the cost was Rs.1250. Now I am enjoying beating the Brazilians in PES5 on 3 star difficulty.:D

I am in the 9th floor of the Technopolis building of CTS. You must be knowing it, this is near the entrance of Rajarhat, the next stop from Nayapatti.

[Anindya]

[digitized]

Hello Kolkatans,

First of all merry christmas and season's greetings.

It's being a long time since I am writing in this thread. I require some help from you, if possible. I have posted in many threads here that I have been incorrectly billed on account of using dataone broadband (plan: home 500). They did not consider the night unlimited usage as free and gave me a huge bill considering the night unlimited usage as extra broadband usage charge over 1024MB. The first erroneous bill came in the 2nd month of usage only, i.e. July 2006. The connection was taken in June 2006. I have given numerous applications to the local AOTR, Commercial officer, SDE (Broadband), DGM (Broadband), GM (Broadband), etc since August 2006 to rectify my bill but they have fallen into deaf ears. My applications were accompanied with proper proof. Sometimes BSNL reported they have lost the application and told me to give another, sometimes the AOTR told me there are no free usage in Home 500 :eek: , sometimes they are on leave on visiting days, sometimes they come to office at 12:30PM (when visiting hours are from 11AM-1PM), sometimes they do not come to office altogether.

This has been continuing from August 2006 onwards. Now, since BSNL has been indefinitely delaying the correction of the erroneous telephone bills, additional wrong bills have been generated month after month. Since september'06, all incoming and outgoing facilities on the phone has been withdrawn and since december 2006, I am not being able to connect to Dataone. On checking from someone else's connection, I found that my username has been suspended, due to which I cannot extract fresh usage records from the site for months sept, oct, nov 2006 etc, if indeed I need them as proof for submitting a fresh application. Initially BSNL made some rosy promises regarding my application so I did not save the usage records for Sept, oct, nov 2006. I only have the usage records for july and august with the night unlimted usage clearly highlighted.

Since I am nnot being able to use any of their services (either bfone or dataone) since this month, I made an application to disconnect all services and take the ADSL modem from my house. But they did not receive the application saying that they need clearance from the accounts department. Then I made another application to send me a separate bill for the phone as the dataone bill is disputed. They did not entertain it. After all, the reason for the first application (disconnection) was for a reason. If I do not get to use ANY of BSNL's services, why should they charge me and why should I give useless rentals?

Myself and my family are thoroughly fed up, disgusted and want to severe all ties with BSNL inspite of them announcing rosy 1Mbps/2Mbps plans. So just wanted to ask you friends, do any one of you have had a similar experience with billing problems with BSNL? If so, please post here. My family is seriously thinking of moving to consumer court. We will appeal to correct the bill, that's the primary objective. Secondary appeal is to seek monetary compensation in terms of customer harrasment, delays and what not. They will have two alternatives, either to give the amount of money they have wrongly billed (in excess of Rs.50000 in over 5 months) or give me unlimited use of their 1Mbps connection for 100 months for Rs.500 monthly rental (Rs.500 X 100 = Rs.50000). They cannot charge a single paisa for it. If I win the case, they will be doomed.:mad:

If anyone has had a similar experience, please post here. Then we could move to court together.

Hey guys.. i need your help urgently!!!. Am having trouble with my machine.Whenever i try to boot my hard disks start making a clanking sound as if the heads are stuck and can't move. Sometimes its the primary Hard Disk and sometimes its the Secondary One. Also at that point if i inter-change the molex connectors the PC boots but my AGP card warns me that it's not receiving enough juice to power up. Again if i plug out the DVD-Writer then sometimes it boots fine with no AGP woes (i.e. it gets all the juice) and other times it still gives me the that the card is not getting enough power. Guys help me solve the problem. I am having a Navtech 400W SMPS. If it really the SMPS problem then am willing to change it . Else if it is because of the Hard Disk having worn out their lives then i need to get it replaced at once for i have no intention of loosing all my precious data ..specifically my Steam files of which no current back up exists..

HELP!!!!

[n7610]

Thanks for the update, but how will i recognise/identify you guyes??

[sabret00the]

To all in this thread plz suggest a NAME for our group in Calcutta......ok lemme suggest this (if mods have no probs though) :- ThinkDigitCalcutta

[Kniwor]

Ok, I've just no landed in Kolkata after hectic journey, about the name, I don't even read Digit, and I'm not sure we need a name either, If we do, we'll talk when we meet.....

There is a tiny possibility of my being late(or absent) as when I landed here, I have been informed that I am summoned by DEAN of my college at 2:00PM today, so If he lectures me for long, or keeps me waiting, I can be late or absent. But I'll try my very best to make it on time.

The first one who goes there will tell the McD person that If someone comes asking for Digit Members meet, send them there, everyone just ask the guys If they know of any digit meet, If they don't, you are possibly the first one. It should not be hard to find each other, no big deal.

[sysfilez]

hi everyone,
well as told earlier, i will be late but i will definitely join.
hope we all have fun, and pls dont forget to bring a camera so tat we can upload pics of our meet.

[gauravakaasid]

am bringin a camera along......my chances of makin it are 60-40 tho:(

[Kniwor]

Going to the dean, let's see what he has to say, hope he leaves me on time to join you guys.

[sysfilez]

is it some kind of prank going on or wat.
@ gaurav
kya yaar abhi tu bol raha hai 60-40.
now i am confused to go or not to go. :-(

[Kniwor]

The guy just free me yaar, he actually called me to rant on my attendance in the college, and then made me attend some crappy lecture on cryptographic systems, I'm badly pissed, wtf, I could've been there, lecture mein neend bhi nahi aayi yaar, darn these old profs...

[gauravakaasid]

so people.......the number of members who "actually" made it to the "meet" is 2! whatever happened to the others????

[sabret00the]

^^^ok,today's meet was a serious disaster considering the fact that we all had so much time to decide and plan things but everything fell apart due to lack of co-ordination. end of the day i think people came at diff times no way to identify anyone in such a big place like Mcdonald's coz none of us had the others number.next time we'll have a single point of contact who will have everyone's number and a co-ordinator to plan everything.i suggest we meet every 2 months.lets make the brotherhood grow.any girl listening is welcome too.

End of the day I was waiting in front of McDs and then Gaurav came over...so we went inside and spent some time discussing hardware configs mainly graphics cards,etc....we had no one's number so cudnt contact anyone....

[Kniwor]

I am very sorry(also ashamed) for not being able to make after telling I will, anyhow, please count me out of any meet next time, as I have exams in 3 weeks, and after that I'm moving to Delhi permanently.

[sysfilez]

i was very dissappointed last day.

[Tech.Masti]

Sorry i cant make it, mera pet kharab hua hei, not ok yet, risk nehi liya.....

[gauravakaasid]

@sysfilez....disappointed as in????

[sysfilez]

i was there... and i was there from 4:30 -5pm no one was there. i asked all the grps of guys and also the mcdonald guy.

[Anindya]

sabret00the^^^ok,today's meet was a serious disaster considering the fact that we all had so much time to decide and plan things but everything fell apart due to lack of co-ordination. end of the day i think people came at diff times no way to identify anyone in such a big place like Mcdonald's coz none of us had the others number.next time we'll have a single point of contact who will have everyone's number and a co-ordinator to plan everything.i suggest we meet every 2 months.lets make the brotherhood grow.any girl listening is welcome too.

Friends or brothers, I was there from 4.10pm - 4.35pm. I was carrying a blue tuition bag wearing a dark yellowish t-shirt and a faded blue jeans, if anybody had seen me. Bad Luck.

I think that idea of putting a coordinator in place and giving our ph no. will be a good thing. As for the name of out group well it can be THINKKOLKATA. Anyway i really left sad for not getting anyone. Hope next time it wont be the same.

[gauravakaasid]

oh no.....so others did turn up.....sorry guys..

well our First Meet had a lot of initial hiccups.....lets hope our second doesn't suffer the same fate. So maybe we should exchange our numbers, and have a SPOC and mods to ensure the that this isn't repeated the next time.

btw, chek out this pic:

[Kniwor]

@gauravakaasid
Well, I will try to make it on next visit, I was kinda planning on just coming not speaking much here, felt really bad about telling that I'll come and not being able to make it(and I was one of the ones who said I'll surely come). So next time you guys plan a meet, I will try to come, but don't count on me beforehand. (I had to attend a sucking lecture, which is not even my subject, imagine my frustration.)

[Tech.Masti]

@gourav....check PM
its now easy to recognise u both guys in next meet.... again sorry for my absence ...:(

[royal]

No Dell dosent sell any laptops for less than Rs.30k

If ur willing to settle down for Intel Celeron M proccy then go for a HCL AX001002 (http://www.hclnotebooks.in/product_detail.asp?code=AX001002)which shud cost u around Rs.27500/-

A Centrino based lappy shud be around Rs.32000/-

Here's the treat.:)) :p :grin: :)

[sabret00the]

Today my expidition started at 9am when I went to Chandni Chowk in Kolkata.I first visited Vedanth infosys where they told me C2d E6600 came for Rs.11000/- + vat.Happy with this knowledge I called up Rashi Peripherals for the price of Asus P5N32 e SLI .They person on the otherside told me Rs.15000/-
I then went to Supreme - The IT Mall and spoke with my contact there Mr.Manish Khattry who got cracking with his boss (:p owner of the shop) to beat the price for me..they didnt want to lose me as I'm an old old too old cust.Well I kept waiting and waiting and then I decided to meet the Rashi guy...he gave me a good price...thought of taking the proc from Supreme and the mobo from Rashi but Supreme said they wont sell the proc alone and I'll have to take a proc + mobo bundle.In the meantime went to Jai Mahavira and booked an 8600GT8-) ...I know I know..#$%*.Anyways,finally came back to Supreme (I had no other choice as they are the only one's who have the C2D E6600 in Kolkata) and ordered all the following parts:-

1.Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4ghz - Rs.12000/- (I believe the going rate for this proccy in kolkata is somewhere around Rs.12500/- to Rs.13000/- based on availability)
2.Asus P5N32 e SLI motheboard - Rs.14150/- (this is actually Rs.150/- less than wat Rashi offered me,but Supreme didnt have the board with them so I had to wait from 4pm to 6:30pm for them to get the card from another importer/wholesaler - worth the wait 8-) )
3.1Gb DDR2 667mhz Transcend - Rs.2450/-

@bobby......what in the world are u goin to do with that monster??:shock: n it seems u had quite an adventure dude! as for berlia, even i suggest u keep off it, i myself dont go there, had to go since my friend has been buying his stuff from there

[Anindya]

Yes Berlia is hopeless. But plz tell me is there any shop in which prices of all items are lower than the market? Supreme is good but in some cases even it charges more than the market price. As far as i know Saboo and Supreme goes head to head.

[Choto Cheeta]

Have u guyess ever considered visiting caltron ?? i found E6600 for 11k there when Supreem or any other was asking minium of 13k :lol:

@choto.....dude, my friend wants to go in for the acer lappy that your friend has bought, also the compaq 3228 is being considered. so, will Caltron be the best bet?

also, had the matrix clip since my college days, its worth a watch!!

[Hulo]

Just purchased one 19" Viewsonic TFT VG921m from M.D. Computers, G.C. Avenue. It cost me 11648 (11200+VAT). I required a non-widescreen model but every other vendor was offering widescreen ones.

you may have to roam around.. :lol: i found the caltron offered the best price for me.. may be u can get better deal at other place, therefore take the price, and if u find that caltron is asking more than any other shop do tell them that which shop offered what... !! :D

well took a day's leave from office and just finished assembling the system yesterday...it seems to have started normally and completed "P.O.S.T".There was the usual 1long, 2 short beep of the AWARD BIOS as the video card was missing.Moreover I had though of borrowing one of the 2 hard drives from my existing system however,the 80GB Western Digital PATA hard drive has failed and I will need to take it to the service center and get it replaced.So I'm stuck for a few days.One good new is that the guy at Jai Mahavira called up and said that my 8600GT has arrived.I'll pick it up probably by the end of this week.

@bobby.....add a poll in the new thread for the venue.

I believe instead of adding a poll let all of us go ahead and suggest venues.I feel if lots of people turn up then we might meet in a public place such as Maidan,etc
