| I just hope they don't seen the "Geek Squad" after me...
I saw a commercial the other day for a TV show that had an avoid copyright infringement version of Geek Squad and it was called "Nerd Herd".
Nearly fell out of my seat...

they even fix stuff that's not (yet) broken
so now DSL has gone the way of the big-box-store, commodisized, retailed-out, complete with the inattention to customers true needs. addin those useless geeks and all we get is a recipe for disaster. |

Yeah well I called Geek Squad the other day, and they had no trouble fixing my flux capacitor, and my home use cold fusion unit no sweat.
All they did was defrag the influx power conversion chamber, and install a new Heisenberg compensator.
Pretty standard stuff...

| Best buy is very expensive for the consumer. 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!

You forgot the ultimately climax though; and that's Comcast buying Qwest, and AT&T, in turn, buying Comast! We'll all be a huge big, pro-Patriot Act/warrantless wiretapping family...... |

That's "Chuck". 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/ |

Tiger is about 20% more than newegg. And you should pay a higher price to have the stuff in stock at a store. Will I go there in a pinch yes but most things I get come from newegg zipzoomfly and mwave. |

::sigh:: ...there was once a day where the Geek Squad had a good name.. that was when the original owners in Minneapolis owned it, ran it right and didn't f*ck it up and turn the name into a joke like Best Buy has..

Thats usually what happens, my concern is that i have a 20 unit phone system that employs over 40 phone numbers that is with covad. What am i supposed to do with my phone service and business. Ill tell you what if i get lost in the shuffle once ill switch to something else, maybe geckotech or ipiphany. |
