Tumbleweed loses PC Pro Recommended award

PC Pro has stripped Tumbleweed of its Recommended award for its MailGate NAS appliance (reviewed in the November 2004 issue).
We were informed at the time of review that the MailGate would be on sale from £1,000, but it's come to light that the system was never on sale for this price. Tumbleweed claims this was due to an upgrade to the specification, but the price is now approaching £4,000.
Without seeing this new product, we are unable to recommend it, and have asked Tumbleweed to remove any reference to the PC Pro award and review on either its website or its marketing campaigns.
Tumbleweed has apologised for the confusion. If you have bought the MailGate on the basis of PC Pro's Recommended award, please contact its Sales Manager, Sarah Walker, by emailing hurst@tumbleweed.co.uk or calling 0118 934 7100.
