Talking Geek Squad.......OMG!!!!!

Went into best buy looking for a socket 478 Intel CPU. So I approach the "service Station" at Best Buy (service is the most minimal definition I can muster) and ask the head "techie" if they carry any CPU's. "We have a whole wall full of CPUs", says he! So I meander over to the wall..........nada. Thinking I was just directionally challenged...I go back. So he says...."right over there is a whole wall of CPUS!!!!" I look, I ponder, I query...Huh? so he takes me over to the wall...we have Dell and Gateway and HP and Sony CPUs!!! I stare back in puzzlement.....Ahhhh............I need an OEM or Retail intel Socket 478 CPU so he starts looking at the Tower descriptions to see which one has the CPUs I want...."no 478's", says he. I try again...I just want the little chip thingy not the whole puter. "oHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhh", says he and takes me to a display case where there is one AMD 3800+ DC CPU for $389.00 (OUch!!!). "There", says he. "Thanks", Says I and left the store!! Go ahead, get your puter repaired by the "Geek Squad"....I dare you...no I double dare you!!! ROFL!!!!!!!!

Wow thats pretty funny. Those guys are not as smart as people think and the prices they charge to do things is rediculous. Why would I pay $30 for them to install memory or like $100 for them to run spysweeper.
