Although the below excerpt was meant as a parody (thanks goes to "King Ram-sys of E.gypped"), it comes frighteningly close to replicating actual conversations I've tried to have with Fry's reps: Customer: Will [insert hardware here] toast bagels and print in color? Fry's Rep: In stereo. Customer: Will I need the optional cable? Fry's Rep: YOU'LL NEED ALL OF THE CABLES, YOU CAN INSTALL EVERYTHING YOURSELF VERY EASILY, IT COMES WITH EVERYTHING, IT'S COMPATIBLE WITH EVERYTHING, IT'S ALWAYS THE LATEST VERSION, I CAN CHECK ON THE TIME TRAVEL FEATURE FOR YOU, IT IS GUARANTEED FOREVER, YOU CAN RUN EVERYTHING WITH IT PERFECTLY, I'LL HAVE TO CHECK, I'M BUSY, I'LL HAVE TO CHECK, I DON'T KNOW, BECAUSE IT'S BEYOND THE MIND, IT'S BEYOND THE MIND....."Oh, sorry, we don't have any in stock right now." At any rate, it's a relief to see that you're coming to the list with your questions before making any purchasing decisions. While Fry's is indeed quite convenient to shop at, (where else can you buy your Twinkies and hard/software in the same place?) it's also the sort of retailer that brings the phrase "caveat emptor" sharply to mind. ¬_¬ Best, James Fraser -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
