[Eug-lug] XP Pro anyone?

[LinuxRocks!]

I've disliked them more than any other computer store in town. 10 years 
ago, i'd go in there because they were near where I lived. I've come 
across several stupid and rude sales people there. The last straw was 
when I sent a customer there for ram, the sales people told him that he 
didnt want what I had asked him to pick up, and sold him something 
different, then when he had to take it back to get the right ram, they 
charged him a restocking fee, and a credit card use fee (which i belive 
is illegal). So I now tell folks that they should shop there, only if 
they dont mind paying too much money to people that will mislead you and 
be jerks to your face, otherwise go to computerbase, Mike will hook you 
up with the goods.
