[quote name=\'aaron sica\' date=\'Aug 12 2004, 05:09 AM\'] Mind you, this is the same place where, when Windows ME came out, I asked a CC rep what the difference was between the full version and the upgrade...
"Well, uh, sir, the upgrade expires in 90 days"..
Yeah. I don't hold a lot of trust in their reps. [/quote]
I love Socket Circus. I love looking their drones dead in the eye and informing them they don't know what the hell they are talking about. They just get this blank look and stare back, like they've never been trained on an appropriate response when someone calls them on BS. It's almost like they have a mental bluescreen. It's awesome.
One of the great things about north Seattle (well, north OF Seattle in this case) is that there is a Socket Circus about a thousand feet from a Best Buy. So you can go into CC, reconfirm that the help STILL has no clue, and then get in your car, take a quick jaunt down the road to BB, and buy whatever it is you wanted in the first place. Usually at a better price. (Though CC sometimes beats out BB on DVDs on day of release.)
