I don't know who advertises in the Post, but I've used CompUSA elsewhere
in the country.  My experience was that while the sales staff was
generally pretty clueless, if you know what you want, their prices were
good and the sales people will go out of their way for you.  I even got
one to photocopy documentation for a product that I wasn't even buying
from them!  (I had purchased a used video card w/o docs). 

My experience was at a CompUSA store outside of Phila, but I would
expect that since it's a reputible business, they should be o.k.
wherever you go.  I also dealt a little with their tech support and
found them reasonably ``with it''. 

Good Luck.
