That was good, I got one at Maidstone and they tried to sell my add on
software, again I too mentioned Linux and the guy told me it would void
my warranty??? and if I wanted to return it for repair it would have to
have windows installed or they wouldn't look at it? since when are
hardware faults caused by software?(besides the over clockers)and
repairs depend on the software installed? That's the sort of person that
thinks pressing the wrong button can make your PC self destruct.

it would seem that knowing how to load internet explorer is as much
skill needed to work there...
