Computer Stores

[jackknife]

Tried to buy locally and get my folks some computer memory and upgrade their graphics card but no one in the area had any sort of selection for sticks of memory. Do you folks have to get all of your computer needs met online or is there a secret computer outlet that I just haven't found. My husband called all the places he could find online and in the phone book. One number turned out to now be someone's cell phone number.

We ended up just having to order it online and hope it gets here before we leave town again. Is that the only option?

Either that, or drive to Wichita.

I usually run over to BestBuy.

strictly DELL online here. For computer woes I don't know yet, haven't had any now for a few years

If you're gonna buy a DELL be sure you pay up front for the extended service plan.

Otherwise get used to Paying per minute and picking through an Indian Accent.

Hell HP is just as bad, outsourcing all there call centers overseas. Luckily my nephew works at HP in Atlanta so when having issues, I usually call him.

Yep - there's nothing like receiving your Sprint bill, calling them for an explanation of a $79.95 charge on it and being answered by a citizen of a different country. One, you can't understand a word they say and two, they don't know the art of customer service. He didn't want to tell me what the charge was for. He immediately pointed out that I owed the total and if not paid, would be turned over for collection. I asked to speak to his supervisor, who I couldn't understand either. So I told him I couldn't understand him, he hadn't answered my question to my satisfaction and demanded to be transferred to someone who spoke English as their first language. Whereupon he transferred me elsewhere and I got someone in Canada who was more than helpful. He reminded me what the charge was and I apologized and wrote the check. That's all I wanted. I hate Sprint.

WOW phone sex calls have gone up!

I didn't know you could reach the phone sex lines with your cell phone....ha ha ha. Seriously, I never understood the concept of telephone sex. How can you really enjoy yourself if you have to hold the stinking phone to your ear? What is sexy about that?

She calls that kinky line, you know, the one that goes by the name "Just-a-Swingin-"
