Janus 2.0
John,
I find a general lack of knowledge on most of the dealers' parts. I spoke
to two today who are supposed to be the best in the LA area and niether had
much idea what was going on. I'm trying to find the upgrade ROMs for the
XTBridgecard, even have the part number. One guy told me I could get it
from a IBM dealer, which is totally wrong, if I am not mistaken. So ya'
just gotta know what you need and bother them 'till they get it for you.
I quote, "Yes we have it in stock." Me, "How much is it?" store, "around
thirty dollars." Can you mail me one? Yes. Ok, how much is it? OH, YOU
WANT AN EXACT PRICE? <gritting teeth> Yes. Hold
on…wait…wait…wait…That's $14.95. I get the feeling in most places
that I'm dealing with a kid who is handling his first customer. It was
that way a Radio Shack for years when I was running a Tandy.
