How many people here can recite all the video resolutions and refresh rates, hard disk size, etc to six different lines of pc's? not including notebooks! I think the Best Buys here in Houston may be above average in sales knowledge but I really don't expect any ONE saleperson to recite ALL the system details of a particular machine or peripheal.... Now ComputerCity on the other hand, clueless, totally clueless :) ask about a PC and you may be shown a Personal Couch cushion....
