[geeks] PC Repair shop fun...

[Lionel Peterson]

Best Buy (Geek Squad) and Circuit City (Firedog) come up looking bad, 
but MicroCenter came off a bit better...

I guess charging $70-80 for a diagnostic is OK in todays world, but I 
can't help thinking in the same 10-20 minutes it takes to drop off a 
laptop the problem could have been fixed, but then you'd have a hard 
time getting the customer to give you $70-80...

I thought (briefly) about opening a PC repair shop after CompUSA left 
the local market, but I couldn't in good conscience charge tose kinds of 
prices, but you have to to pay the rent (I guess).
