    FWIW...their "buyers protection plans" include accidental damage. IMHO, that's a great thing, especially for laptops (ever spill a glass of wine on one?) and cameras. And it's usually an immediate replacement.

    I doubt that. Sounds like you've been "cut off" the way you talk about your love life. :stirpot:

    If they jump right on me as soon as I walk in then it can't be good. In my previous life as a well dressed man, I still garnered negative attention from the plain clothes security goons.
    Today I say, "Ah, I'm just bored. But thank you for asking." If I really do need help I'll start with that and add on, "Oh but you know..."

    Good Grief, the prices are dropping so fast on flat screens and stereos. Why doesn't radio gear go down like that (dream)?

    No kiddin. It's damn near impossible to call CQ on a flat screen TV.

    They aren't trying hard enough. They made buying a new laptop online such a miserable experience I can't see a reason why I would ever bother with them again.
    I am surprised at such a sudden deterioration in a woman whose only ailment was a lazy anus.

    Very sorry to hear that. This might be a store-by-store thing. If you're up to it, could you explain what happened? It'd be good to compare notes.

    I tried to buy a laptop from them on the website, went through the whole process, then when I tried to check out, it would tell me that it wasn't possible to send the laptop to the store near me...even though up until that point, it would tell me that if I ordered it today, it would be at the store by tomorrow kind of stuff. It was just freaking annoying. If it isn't available, don't tell me it is, right up to the point where I try to hand you money, pull your hand back and shout 'psych!'
