What ever happened to computers ?

Who would buy a car that has a defective engine? When buying cars those who have no idea what they are doing will get a knowledgable friend along to help them. Yet when buying PC's everyone assumes the salesman knows what's best and gets Windows. We need to start a "bring a geek to your next PC purchase" campaign. ;)

When Computer and Electrical salesmen in places like PCWorld and Dixons try to sell some newb something they don't need nor can afford, I usually have a quiet word with the customer and tell them the deal. It pisses off the salesmen, sorry salespeople, but it's the right thing to do
Try it, geeks to the streets!

Hey I could lurk in Dick Smiths (big Aussie electronics chain)...
"Look dude I'm going to keep telling the customers the best deal here. I don't care what you do. BUT, you have a choice. Either you let me keep on making you look like a rip off merchant, or you pay me lots of money to wear a badge so it looks like you're employing me to give good honest advice to the customers..."

Or he calls security.

I dont know if a direct statement like that would work, but you could just kinda look around until you overhear the deal and then move in for the kill
Fett101:
Or... if your that desperate for something to do, get a job at that place and let them pay you to inform the customer.
