NOT geeks...
The so-called "Geek Squad" are anything but. They are using a business model which will quickly drive them out of business: Hire the cheapest help we can get and charge premium prices. I followed the link from an earlier post and it makes me laugh. $39 to install MEMORY?!?!?! What, a 5 minute job? $39 to install an optical drive? Maybe 7 minutes? (This includes opening the case). $129 for an OS upgrade? The funniest thing is what they pay their people. You, too, can be a Geek! Pay starts at $9/hr. (Wisconsin) I wouldn't get out of bed for that.
