Now why does that not surprise me?
Talk about birds of a feather .....

On a related note, I went shopping for an I/O card today:
The London Drugs salesman first tried to sell me a removable hard
drive instead, when I finally managed to clue him in that I know what
I'm looking for, his price was $54.99

Computer City, price $59.99, couldn't find a salesman on the floor,
had to find the product myself.

Future Shop:  Grabbed a salesguy, but he decided to vaguely point to
another isle and went to talk on the phone instead of trying to sell
me something.  FS price: $59.99

Then I went across the street to PC Computers, got personal attention,
the salesman asked intelligent questions and I bought the card for
$18.00. In and out under 5 minutes.

So much for all the "price beaters", guarantees and other BS from the
big stores.

And if Mr. Ommundsen wants to call me a liar, he can go ahead.  My
lawyers can beat his lawyers.
