I only recently got an assistant (within the past 1.5 years) and even MORE recently stopped answer my phone EVERY SINGLE TIME it rang!<br/><br/>If someone told me that I couldn't buy a computer without buying an extended warranty, I think I'd probably find someone to report them to...that can't be legal. You should write to their corporate office and complain...maybe they'll send you a coupon for 50% off an extended warranty.<br/><br/>What CRAP! lol I know how your husband feels!

My husband is a cop, but is also a computer guru and is now the IT guy for the Police and Fire Departments in the town he works for. <br/><br/>He's his own team, though. No assistants, nothing. They just keep telling him "he can do it" and to keep his phone on 24/7. And they call 24/7. It's almost insane. <br/><br/>Anyway, I went to Best Buy a few years ago to buy a computer they had on sale for the kids. The guy tried to sell me everything under the sun to go along with it, including a three year warranty for like hundreds of dollars. <br/><br/>I said "Dude, I'm buying a low end e-machine so the kids can get on the internet". If it goes askew, my husband will fix it and if he can't fix it, well, then I'll toss it in the garbage. I dont want the extended warranty." <br/><br/>This guy proceeds to ramble on about The Geek Squad and not only computer repairs, but other services they have to offer, like getting digital pics from my camera to my computer. He would even give me a discount on this service if I bought the warranty. <br/><br/>Ummm, thanks, but I can already do that and like I said, this computer is for the kids to get all kinds of spyware/adware and maybe even a virus or two that escapes Norton, so they don't ruin the good computers in the house. I don't want the warranty. <br/><br/>He tells me that he doesn't think he can sell me this computer because I'm not aware of the risks of owning one if I'm not interested in his warranty. <br/><br/>I asked for the manager who told me I had to buy the warranty if I wanted the computer. I left and went to Circuit City an got another one and have sworn off Best Buy along with Wickes Furniture. <br/><br/>Thats another story........Thanks for the link!<br/><br/>Jessica The Rock Chick Oh, that explains why my IT husband is rapidly losing his hair!
