I have had many similar experiences at compusa, best buy etc.. I don't even talk to the sales people anymore, If I cant find what im looking for I just leave. Althought the last time I walked into the local CompUSA I was wearing my FreeBSD hat, and one of the sales dorks saw it and was a serious linux zealot and starting attacking me and proclaiming the end of the world on roll over to the new millinium and telling me how he will "stand proud when the world burns and windows is no more and I am happily booting up with LILO and linux shall rule the world!". I don't go to that store anymore :-) Chris To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
