Best Buy Gives Me a Break
August 9th, 2009
I will be away from this space for the next four to six weeks. My computer is giving me some problems and in order to have the work done under the service contract I purchased from Best Buy, I have to take it to one of their stores. They have informed me that it will take that long to replace my CD drive. I think that this is one of the lamest excuses for poor service I have ever heard but my only other option is to buy and replace the drive myself which would mean that when I purchased the extended service contract I was actually just throwing my money down the toilet. What are you going to do?
Some folks use their computers more than others and for me to give up my machine for that length of time is a royal inconvenience. I am not very happy with Best Buy and will probably never buy a computer from them again. Thanks for nothin’.
In the mean time I will be working on some other personal writing projects that I have underway including some journaling by long hand and the completion of my first e-book entitled; Flatulence: A frank and open discussion. I hope to have it available for purchase when I return with my next post on this site. That is as soon as the customer service experts at Best Buy get finished with the arduous task of replacing a CD drive. Anyone with a Paypal account will be able to get it for $9.95 and I know you won’t want to miss it as I intend to give the subject a thorough airing.
Stay safe and work hard.
Bob

Now that you are back in NC and working in Raleigh, I would like to recommend “Intrex”. I am sure there are some folks that would disagree and surely fault could be found in any place one might choose to purchase almost anything…… especially computers.
My last three computers were purchased at “Intrex” and what I like most is the staff is very knowledgeable over all. The sales people are also the ones that build the computers and service them.
While I have had a few minor issues, all of them were due to either operator error or the occasional malfunctioning hardware. Both of which are a fact of life.
Just my two cents dude……see you when you get back online or show up at my door, which ever comes first.
