I despise the salesmen AND saleswomen who do the BS sales.
They push useless warrenties, and duplicate support which vanishes when you try and use it. (or worse it is outsourced to another country where “John Smith” can’t speak english)
My experience with Packard Bell & Circuit City was an education, and one I do not regret.
It soured me on "store bought" PCs. More importantly, it motivated me to learn to trouble-shoot, upgrade, repair my PC(s).
The money I've saved since, has more than paid for that Packard Bell. Lol.
