Default U got to love a trip to compusa

ok i went to go get a psu 4 a spare pc and while i was there i was looking at the ibooks.And the sales man there was showing this man an ibook and a powerbook 12inch. first of he said the powerbook was 2x more powerful than the ibook it is not it is like a 100mhz difference on the same cpu.Also the man said he just needed it for the internet and the salesman said the powerbook did it faster.

also i passed this old couple and the man was yelling to the woman how he could install the soundcard but she thought he would break the computer.

basicly i saw alot of other funny things but i am to lazy to type them up.

There is no longer a CompUSA in my area, so I can no longer experience this hilarity. There hasn't been for about two years

That sounds so much like my wife.

Best Buy is terrible.

Just go in and look like you're dumb and ask them questions, they sound so bad you just want to cry.

It seems like every time I wander into Best Buy, I end up helping several people by recommending NewEgg and ZipZoomFly... things like prices that are about a half of Best Buy's, and stuff like that.

last time I went to best buy no one approached us, but I don't go very often and my friend was there to get BF2

that place is a joke...I remember going into a circuit city once though and there was a fellow geek who helped me out with sound cards...this was like 4 years back so I really didn't know crap about hardware...always good when someone who actually knows what the **** they are talking about helps you out

Really? Would you mind telling us that story?

(Futureshop seemed better before Bestbuy took over...)
