I'm serious though, it's common knowledge, BestBuy's GeekSquad are useless folk.

As a former wearer of the short-sleeved poplin shirt and clip-on tie, I agree. They're sales people. Their goal is not to fix your computer, it's to sell you more stuff. Our largest clientele were clueless old people who didn't realize they were being taken for a ride.

I still remember that leaked corporate training exercise that taught Best Buy employees to tell some truly ludicrous lies and half-truths.

The sad thing is Windows 7 was the last Windows that was really any good.

After Fry's shut down in 2020, someone had to go national. MC is opening a new store also in Miami, Florida

But this might destroy MicroCenter because there is no longer felonies for minor OR grand theft larceny in both California and New York.

man i live 25 minutes away from that location and theyre taking forever to open it

San Francisco and San Jose. I stayed in an AirBnB in San Jose and drove to San Francisco two days. Gorgeous area. Expensive as hell, tho. I paid $30 for a burger and fries. I did all the touristy stuff and that was fun but I'd like to go back. Nintendo is opening a store there next year, that might be my excuse.

I saw the screen shots. It's really not that bad. Mostly for people who don't know about computers to help sell windows computers...don't think they sold many linux computers, or even carried them?

You have to have way too money, or lack of brains to keep living in CA.

Yeah, the climate is awful over there.

Except up north in the Pacific Northwest end of the state, I guess.
