Ok,
  I hate going to computer shops to find out they don't have a clue, but
do have high prices and bad attitueds.  

  I recently bought a new 1.1Ghz AMD athalont from PC-City (www.pc-city.com)
and it had some problems.  I took it in, most of the techs seemed young but
that doesn't bother me.  After checking it we determined it may have a bad
processor, but they didn't have one in stock, shipment was late.  I called
today and the processor was in.  My wife unplugged my box and took it down.

  She happened to get Howard, the owner.  All of a sudden she's calling me
and I'm talking to Howard.  He is curious if it may be a bad motherboard
instead/also.  We chatted for a few minutes.  At this minute he's there
swapping out my motherboard and processor without muss, fuss or hassle.

  This is the first "complete" system I've bought since about 93 because
I like to build my own machines.  I went to these guys because the price
may be a little higher on some things, but the staff are courtious and they
listen, even if really busy.  I'm VERY glad I got this machine from them
and will continue to buy parts from them and will tell anyone who's 
considering buying a machine to go here.  You may pay $10 or so more for
some parts, but being able to watch the tech work on your box, on the spot
and not have to come back a week later is a very nice feeling, especially 
when they ask questions about how/what/when/where and they're actually
listening to you.

  A few of the techs are Linux savy in addition.  I heard a rumor they
may be considering doing Linux support, if they aren't any more, so
any encouragement, etc (not rabid pro-linux,anti-ms propganda) might
be a good idea.

Robert
