I will have to go back in the place and ask him to build me something special.

Ask him to order you the floppy drive overclocking kit that you saw on some Japanese website.

Maybe he can get me a Quantum Big Foot with the 8MB cache?

Sounds like my experience at Best Buy. I was waiting for a salesman to finish helping another customer, because I wanted something locked inside a glass display case. The conversation went something like this.

Customer: When I burn audio CD's, they work fine in my computer CD player, but don't work with my regular CD player. What's wrong?

BB Employee: Umm...well, are you using "plus" or "minus?"

Customer: Ummm...I don't know. I guess I'll go have to go home and check.
<Customer leaves>

(Yes, the customer was definitely talking about his CD burner, not DVD)

I was in shop once doing the staffs job of helping an guy pick out choose a video card. One of the staff came over and he knew what he was doing. We asked him some question about his computer and he pulled a notebook out of his pocket. The look on my and the salesmans face must have been classic when we saw where they guy drew each connector and the pinout of each one in this notebook.

My favorite is still the guy working the computer department who was going on about how `AGP video cards were slower than PCI ones because his Voodoo3 was PCI and that anyway when AGP cards catch up he'll just get an AGP slot installed in his HP.`

Best part was he claimed he'd contacted HP about this and they would install an AGP slot for $50. Since the computers with AGP cost $50 more he decided was better off not to get it in case it didn't work out. And told customers the same thing.

I would have asked to see this alleged computer he just built for himself and told him to build me one. Wouldn't that be funny. I wonder what would happen. 😀

XFILE,
I hit the post button before I had anything in the body of the message, and I had a typo in the title of the thread. These people here are brutal.

LMAO!!!

...he says, "The best memory for an Athlon is based on RDRAM, but you have to get it in pairs, which isn't a problem because PC-100 is so cheap."

uh


uh



uh


well

i guess RAM is all related

like a 20MB MFM hard drive has platters, a 120GB serial ATA hard drive has platters, so they are practically the same thing, right?

People that stupid should not be allowed to own computers.

Actually, people that stupid should just be shot and put out of their misery.
