fwiw - the staff in components are all A+ certified and I find that they
are typically more knowledgeable than I on these things but
occasionally, they have given me a bum steer (don't need dual channel or
selling me DDR when the motherboard needed DDR2) but all in all, that it
amuses you to go in and expose someone's ignorance suggests that you are
lacking in decency, compassion and purpose. Most of the people that sell
cars don't know where the oil level stick is.
