Well, you know that the Geek Squad techs can fix anything. Even those things that haven't been invented yet. At least that is what they imply in their commercials. :D
They will scan your HDD for Porn and terrorist documents

Trust me, you'd really rather be part of the Nerd Herd than the Geek Squad.

Geek Squad: Irate customers ranging from the ignorant to the stupid, long hours, low pay, sadistic boss, unwashed coworkers, no prospect for advancement.

Nerd Herd: Irate customers ranging from the ignorant to the stupid, long hours, low pay, sadistic boss, unwashed coworkers, no prospect for advancement. Also various agencies foreign and domestic trying to kill and/or torture you.

BUT -- on the Nerd Herd you get to fly a helicopter and one of the agents NOT trying to kill you (usually) is »us.imdb.com/name/nm2088803/]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19202219 Fri, 05 Oct 2007 13:46:44 EDT Re: Best Buy.. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19202047 Fox McCloud :

ouch...that'd suck.

You forgot the ultimately climax though; and that's Comcast buying Qwest, and AT&T, in turn, buying Comast!

Individual pc components alone are 40% higher than newegg or tiger. I can't see their deal with Convad any better for the consumer. And if you have to hire geek squad, you have other issues!

All they did was defrag the influx power conversion chamber, and install a new Heisenberg compensator.

Pretty standard stuff...
