I go to the local computer store and, instead of them speaking computerese
and me being confused, I ask technical questions and they don't understand
them. Sigh.

Re: "I go to the local computer store and, instead of them speaking computerese and me being confused, I ask technical questions and they don't understand them." No offense to any readers who might also sell computers, but it seems to me that most computer strores are run by "business" people who don't know the first thing about computers and who might as well be selling power tools or home appliances. They'd probably be better off selling appliances -- When was the last time you went into an appliance store to ask about the ROM in your microwave oven?

Doug stated, " I ask technical questions..." I respectfully suggest that if the quality of answers does not at least give some satisfaction, tis time to change stores!
