Who IS resonsible for their (Staples) errors???

They probably try and blame the customer. Oh well, it is Staples, after all.

I'd blame the customer - I mean, come on, who seriously believed for a minute that Staples would actually sell them 50 copies of Windows XP Home for $50? Everyone & their mothers knew that the page was an error.

They had something similiar on another site with a $1 1.5Ghz Itanium. It was a configuration upgrade for buying a prebuilt system.

edit:

A system error has occurred. Please continue to Staples.com.
