Computershop Tech Rant Thread by slacktime 2002-06-03 12:28:29
I went into a computer shop to return a defective mobo. The technician there had the audacity to tell me... "Putting together a computer isn't easy, that's why we went to school for training" I came this close to shoving the board up his nose! I'll bet I've had more "school" then he'll ever see, and I've been building systems from the days of Apple II and PC XTs. I don't even pretend to know everything there is to know, and it's all I can do to keep up with the changes in buses, processors, memory types, BIOS, and all, but I was very close to telling him where he could shove his "training". Make me feel better and post your experiences with computer shop professionals here.

BTW: I could use some hugs
