I worked for them for a while, and people actually use that service. I think it's cheaper in Canada but still... it's really overpriced.

(taken from staples site)

Technician will begin defragmentation, explain the process and provide the proper contact information in case there are any complications

(Tech spiel: What this does is move all the files to the front of your drive and puts them in order so they are able to be accessed faster. If there is an error during the defrag, you can call me at 555-555-1212)

Technician will provide instructions on how to proceed after defragmentation process is completed

(Tech spiel: You will know when the defrag is done when a box appears and tells you that the defrag has finished. At this time you would click 'OK' and the close the defrag window by clicking on the 'X' in the upper right corner)
