apparently there is a market...
and given the quality of the Geek Squads work i've had to fix, i'd have to say that any small business that tries this service will go postal. They hire people with no technical experience and pawn them off with as little training as possible so they wont leave. If you can get the experience needed you can move on, they dont want that, so no real training. I don't think anyone who does this sort of thing on their own has anything to worry about. Geek Squad is a very pathetic attempt by Best Buy to make some extra cash for services that ordinary people need, these ordinary people only make that mistake once as well.
