[wplug] Best Buy's insanity ...

[DK]

Every since I read this story:
http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/06/01/2215204
I decided not to give Best Buy my business, and recommend that others
stay clear too.

Regarding the article, some will say the customer is to blame.  Yes, I
will agree that the customer should have exercised some common sense.
But, they did pay for a service which included destruction of the old
hardware.

Shameful Best Buy.

Since Allegheny County has no other computer retailers, I will be
disappointed to see CompUSA go.  I recommend WPLUG lobby some other
"good" retailers to consider opening in our area.

Anyone had experience, or heard about problems with Fry's Electronics?
