 Well, you operate under a diferent set of moral values than I do.  When I go 
into a store and buy a video card, I expect to take it home and I expect it to 
work.
  What I don't expect is to be sold a known bad video card, that is NOT 
expected to work, and having to get in the car, drive all the way back, argue 
with the sales people, then get another video card, drive home, install into 
machine, and yup!  You guessed it....that one doesn't work either.
  This complacent sheep-like attitude of customers who go into stores with 
thier pants already down around thier ankles, a jar of vasoline in one hand 
and the other carrying a sign saying "please screw me good, I promise to not 
complain", is fostering the kind of quasi-criminal/dishonest business like 
this National computer.
  If you enjoy the type of business like Computer 1 and Way2Cheap, who take in 
computers for repair up to the day they declare bankruptcy, and sell your 
stuff so the owner can hurridly buy a giant house with lots of land, and then 
put it in his wife's name so the bankruptcy courts can't touch it, well, I 
have a short list of other "fine" establishments you might want to patronize, 
so you can save a little bit of money because you are "technically savvy".

  Now, to top it off, this crooked dimwit who runs the place can't even manage 
to run a virus-checking program, and emails viruses to his customers.

  What in the hell kind of excuse for this asshole are you going to come up 
with now?
