Point taken. It's just so frustrating to have to deal with this level of
incompetence. If I go to a computer store, I expect to get the answers
to my questions but it seems like the employees there have almost no
knowledge of the products they are selling. Sure, I can understand that
Windows people have no knowledge of Macs and vice versa, but a Windows
person should have knowledge of Windows ...etc.
However, it seems like, they have no knowledge of any of the software
products they are selling, because until a week ago, they were working
in a grocery shop and selling computer stuff is not much different from
that, right?
Occasional, though, there are people who know their stuff, but you have
to find them, first :).
Best regards,
Chris

There's nothing wrong with the human factor. There *IS* however,
something wrong with computer store personnel for the most part :)
In fact, the human factor of someone promptly responding to me that my
airport would work in YDL 2.0 is the reason that I ordered it
immediately and have the CDs sitting next to me right now. Humans are
great...for some things ;)
I think my revised moral would be: Never buy in a store what you can
find on the internet. :)
