| Yes, I can believe the bit about PC World, same as Dixons, Currys or whatever, they employ monkeys who try to treat you like you don't know any different, I have caught them out before by asking for kit which I knew they did not sell only to see what the reaction was...I knew what the answer was going to be, I was more interested to see what sort of excuse the shop floor assistant would come up with. It was Fun as I had totally baffled him when I first asked for the item...he went blank...brain into overload, said hang on I'll go and look out the back and stopped by the video recorder stands and then came back and said No sorry we don't do those. All I had asked for was Digital Compact Cassettes (for audio recording only) which are only available from specialist suppliers but used to be available in some high street stores.
These were out the same time as Mini-Discs came out but were of higher quality, 18 bit recording compared to that of 16 bit with Mini-Discs ...for some reason they never caught on...Mini-Discs did.
Yes I will go to PC World on the Odd Occasion but only to price up goods or get the odd item if I really need it straight away, I build my own computers now so there is no way I would buy one off them.
