That's such a sad story. I guarantee you when all the bricks and mortar
stores are gone, web mail order customer service will take a nosedive.

Yes indeed. Our last local computer store with reasonable inventory,
Tigerdirect, just closed, and I'm missing it hugely. First, mail order
isn't especially happy when you have one six dollar gender bender
keeping you from completing your project. Second, there's nothing like
questioning a knowledgeable salesperson, in person, in trying to get
closest to ideal for a mobo, cpu and ram that will work with each other.

I agree with you. If I "computer lab test" something, it tests out to
be what I want, and it's within 25% of the online price, I'm going to
buy it where I tested it.
